hi all,

 

I have added two nic's to a vSwitch to provide redundancy and load-balancing.

 

See attached screenshot

 

Just to test the redundancy when I unplugged one network cable connected to  nic(vmnic0) ,and  I can not connect to my exsi anymore. But other way around it works.

 

But technically when I unplug one nic(vmnic0), I should be able to connect to my exsi server since other nic(vmnic2) is online.

 

Do I need to assign any IP for second nic(vmnic2)? According some sugesstion I do not need to assign IP for second nic(vmnic2)

 

Appreciate your thoughts on this
