Test Connectivity to Devices and Networks.Restarting the management network interface might be required to restore networking or to renew a DHCP lease. You might need to restart the management agents if remote access is interrupted. They are installed with the vSphere software. The management agents synchronize VMware components and let you access the ESXi host by using the vSphere Web Client and vCenter Server. You can use the direct console to do simple network connectivity tests. You can configure the host before you attach the host to the network. Some highly secure environments do not permit unconfigured hosts on the network to be powered on. Configure the Network Settings on a Host That Is Not Attached to the Network.

You can select either manual or automatic DNS configuration of the ESXi host. You can set the virtual LAN (VLAN) ID number of the ESXi host.īy default, DHCP sets the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. You can use the direct console to choose the network adapters that are used by the management network.

Traffic between an ESXi host and any external management software is transmitted through an Ethernet network adapter on the host.

Choose Network Adapters for the Management Network.

Different networks require different access and level of isolation. Isolation of network traffic is essential to a secure ESXi environment.

ESXi Networking Security Recommendations.

You can override the default behavior and use static IP settings for the management network after the installation is completed. The default behavior is to configure the ESXi management network using DHCP.

The wrong network adapter was selected during the autoconfiguration phase.

This situation might occur if the autoconfiguration phase did not succeed in configuring DHCP.

You are not allowed to use the IP address assigned by the DHCP server.You are not satisfied with the IP address assigned by the DHCP server.There may be some edge cases with routing where this scheme may not work, but I think for your use-case it should be fine.Use the direct console for network configuration in the following cases: Once you do this, I think both internal and external management networks should work for you. Imagine you want to use internal management network like this:īecause we cannot have 2 gateways in default TCP/IP stack, you can define gateway directly on vmk1 (this is supported in ESXi 6.5): esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set -g 10.5.5.1 -i vmk1 -t static -I 10.5.5.5 -N 255.255.255.0 GW: 192.168.5.1 - it may be defined for default TCP/IP stack or on vmk0 itselfįor internal management network, just create another vSwitch, new management port group and new vmk1 adapter.This vmk0 adapter may have IP configuration like this: I think you can keep external management network setup as it is now (same vSwitch, same management port group, the same vmk0 adapter in default TCP/IP stack). You may use the same switch (with 2 uplinks and explicit LBFO settings for different port groups) or two different switches each using its own uplink - one for external and another for internal management network.
