VMware Side Configuration

Now we will create a LAG using two previously unused physical adapters on the ESXi host. For this purpose we will 
create a dedicated vSwitch from the two unused physical adapters for storage traffic with a VLAN ID of 51.  

First, login to the ESXi host with the vSphere client and go to the 

Networking Adapters option on the  

Configuration tab. On our server vmnic3 and vmnic2 are currently not allocated to any vSwitch. We will use 

those two in our new vSwitch.

 

Now that we’ve identified the physical adapters to use, go to 

Networking on the Configuration tab.

Here, you will see the existing vSwitch0 used for management. Now click on the 

Add Networking… link.

   

You will be taken to an 

Add Network Wizard. Select VMkernel and click Next.
