Hi all,
I recently installed ESXi 5 on a server I'm using as a test lab server. The plan is to run a few VM's on top ESXi, but one curious point I noticed after the setup was that the VMWare VMNIC0 actually assumed the MAC address of the server's physical NIC. Is there some automated network bridging process that takes place during the setup? Also, exctly what functionality does the VMNIC0 provide? I'm still very new into VMWare, have a strong Cisco background, but this lab setup is throwing up a lot of questions.
Thanks for the help.
