Hi everyone,
I recently installed ESX 6.7 in a lab on an Intel NUC with one NIC built-in and added a separate NIC by installing a USB-C NIC adapter. Both NICs are connect to a single switch and (successfully) receive their internal IP addresses via DHCP. The USB NIC is used for management, while the "real" NIC will then be used for the production network traffic (DMZ, once I have set everything up).
Now, I have created two virtual NICs (one for each real NIC), two virtual switches (again, one for each) and two port groups (all with vlan 0) and connected them so that I ideally would have two separate TCP/IP stacks - one for production use and one for management only. However, I cannot add network adapters to virtual machines (dropdown is blank) and on the dashboard page, the section "Networks" is empty...can anyone tell me how to configure this correctly?
Many thanks,
Andreas
