ESXI 5.5 not detecting NICs in Workstation LAB

[vijayrana968]

I have added 5 NICs to ESXI host in workstation lab, only one NIC is detecting. Can anyone guide these are correct settings !

Do NICs 2-5 have "connected" and "connect at power on" ticked ?

Please check the VM's configuration (.vmx) file, to see whether the virtual NICs are configured properly, i.e. there's an entry ethernet#.virtualDev = "e1000" for each virtual NIC.

If not, add this entry for each virtual network adapter (with VMware Workstation, or at least the VM's tab closed).

Hi Vijay,

I Tried to simulate the same in my workstation and was able to connect all the NICs when used NAT. Probably you can check using the same if it works.

Hi,

All subnets "VMNET*" are configured correctly? Look to this article: Configuring Bridged Networking Options on a Windows Host
