Edit VMkernel Configuration on a vSphere Distributed Switch
You can edit a VMkernel virtual network adapter on a vSphere distributed switch to change the IP settings,
such as IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS configuration. You can also select whether the
virtual adapter is used for vMotion or fault tolerance logging.

as the network connection that vMotion traffic should be sent through.
You can enable this property for only one vMotion and IP storage port group for each host. If this
property is not enabled for any port group, migration with vMotion to this host is not possible.

server addresses that were specified during installation are also preselected, as is the domain.
On the Routing tab, a gateway is needed for connectivity to machines not on the same IP subnet as the
VMkernel.
Static IP settings is the default.
