Maximizing network usage using dual network connection on ESXi 4

Asked by jjoz in VMware, Miscellaneous Networking, Computer Servers

Tags: ESXi, VMWare, Dell PowerEdge, NIC, vswitch

Hi All,

I'm wondering if i could use both of the NIC connection at the same time to boost performance ?

in the attached screen shot one is currently disabled ?

I'm using ESXi 4 with the latest patch and this is Dell Power Edge 2950-III Broadcom NetExtreme II NIC and Intel Pro 1000 MT with TOE NIC, while the switch the Switch is just a dumb switch of HP Procurve 1800-24G which supports Gigabit

all of the cables is Cat6 and the IP address currently assigned to this ESXi host is just one.

any kind of suggestion to optimize the current configuration would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

JJ
