For single-node servers in an ESXi-based system, connect the cables and configure
the system as shown in the following tables, depending on the server type and
architecture, when relevant.
The tables below show the most common correlation between the physical NIC port
location and the logical configuration in VMware. When using the same slot locations
as shown below, all settings but one setting are static and can be set by the AMS. The
vmnic number is the dynamic setting and is determined by the VMware bus scan and
boot logic. This number cannot be set persistently.
If you need to build your own table of reference, correlate the ESXi physical ports to
the vmnic logical port name.
Note: In this AMS release, Advanced Deployment mode enables you to dynamically
select the port to be used in the server. It is recommended, but not mandatory,
that you use the VxFlex OS best practice ports. If the VLAN ID is defined, it must
also be configured on the switch side connected to the relevant selected port.
