If your server is connected to the network with the DHCP server by at least one network interface, it will automatically receive the IP address and you will see it in the hypervisor console called DCUI. This IP address is used to manage the hypervisor from the web interface.

The vSphere Switch or vSwitch is a virtual device that transfers data between virtual machines on the server or out through a physical NIC. There are two types of virtual switches:. After you install and run your hypervisor, there is a built-in virtual switch vSwitch0 , which includes a physical adapter vmnic0 , and two groups of ports: a service one Management Network to manage your hypervisor and a network for VMs VM Network to transfer data. The hypervisor management interface vmk0 vmkernel port belongs to the Management Network group.
In most cases, one virtual switch on a stand-alone hypervisor will be enough. You have to create port groups if you want to isolate virtual machines from each other and use different VLAN settings for port groups.
Unless necessary, do not make any changes to Management Network or vmkernel port, or you may lose access to your hypervisor management interface. Show all files.
