Vmware and DMZ

We will be replacing the ESXi servers with a new servers with SFP/OCP nic card. But it has not got many nic ports like our old servers with 10GBaseT.

Would you recommend sharing a physical uplink for DMZ with other port groups such as management/Virtual network? Is there any KB article recommended practice for DMZ's distributed switch?

Hi,

You can isolate DMZ with other zones via physical connections and VLAN as well. Also VM traffic isolation is recommended if you have enough network connection.

So if you can add DMZ and other zones VLANs to a network port, you can add DMZ uplink to other zones port-groups.
