4 Click Add host networking.
5 On the Select connection type page, select VMkernel Network Adapter and click Next.
6 On the Select target device page, select the switch for the VMkernel adapter, and click Next.
Option Description
Select an existing network
Use the physical adapter conguration of an existing distributed port
group to send data from the VMkernel adapter to the external network.
Select an existing standard switch
Use the physical adapter conguration for the VMkernel adapter of an
existing standard switch.
New vSphere standard switch
Assign a new physical adapter conguration for the VMkernel adapter on
a new standard switch.
7 On the Port properties page, select vMotion from the TCP/IP stack drop-down menu.
The vMotion trac becomes the only service that is enabled. You cannot use this VMkernel adapter for
trac types other than vMotion.
8 Set the label, VLAN ID, and IP mode of the VMkernel adapter, and click Next.
9 (Optional) On the IPv4 seings page, select an option for obtaining IP addresses.
Option Description
Obtain IPv4 settings automatically
Use DHCP to obtain IP seings. A DHCP server must be present on the
network.
Use static IPv4 settings
Enter the IPv4 IP address and subnet mask for the VMkernel adapter.
The VMkernel Default Gateway and DNS server addresses for IPv4 are
obtained from the selected TCP/IP stack.
Select the Override default gateway for this adapter check box and enter a
gateway address, if you want to specify a dierent gateway for the
VMkernel adapter.
10 (Optional) On the IPv6 seings page, select an option for obtaining IPv6 addresses.
Option Description
Obtain IPv6 addresses
automatically through DHCP
Use DHCP to obtain IPv6 addresses. A DHCPv6 server must be present on
the network.
Obtain IPv6 addresses
automatically through Router
Advertisement
Use router advertisement to obtain IPv6 addresses.
In ESXi 6.5 and later router advertisement is enabled by default and
supports the M and O ags in accordance with RFC 4861.
Static IPv6 addresses
a Click Add IPv6 address to add a new IPv6 address.
b Enter the IPv6 address and subnet prex length, and click OK.
c To change the VMkernel default gateway, click Override default
gateway for this adapter.
The VMkernel Default Gateway address for IPv6 is obtained from the
selected TCP/IP stack.
11 Review your seings selections on the Ready to complete page and click Finish.
After you create a VMkernel adapter on the vMotion TCP/IP stack, you can use only this stack for vMotion
on this host. The VMkernel adapters on the default TCP/IP stack are disabled for the vMotion service. If a
live migration uses the default TCP/IP stack while you are conguring VMkernel adapters with the vMotion
TCP/IP stack, the migration completes successfully. However, the involved VMkernel adapters on the
default TCP/IP stack are disabled for future vMotion sessions.
