ESXI 4 and Networking

[jreimer]

Sorry if this will sound like a stupid question. I have a new Dell R710 with 4 network cards on the back and wanted to make each network socket on the server go to a specfic Virtual machine client. So my question is how do i go about getting this done. I have read the manual and it is a little confusing to get this done.

Thanks

You need to create a virtual switch for each vm and assign a nic to it.

Perfect that was the key thanks.

Dear Jreimer,
I have also configured a R710 with question, I have setup a NIC with public management IP, how can I setup the guest VM to get thru internet? Thanks!
