ok thanks guys read the document and figured it out. In the 'NIC &nbsp;Teaming' tab, which of the two options should I pick for failover?<br />
<br />
1. Route based on the original vp ID<br />
2. Use explicit failover

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I need to have two nics on my vmware server bonded so that two switches can connect to each nic for redundancy purposes. Is there any documentation anywhere on how to do that cause I can't find any.<br />
<br />
If someone here can guide me through it that would be great. Thanks.

Hi all,

I need to have two nics on my vmware server bonded so that two switches can connect to each nic for redundancy purposes. Is there any documentation anywhere on how to do that cause I can't find any.

how do I use bonded nics in VMWARE?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
