It should be fine as mentioned. My recommendation for anything - test! :) You can do this easily if you have another nic available. Just create another VM Network Port Group, assign a nic to it and give it a name. Use a non-production/test VM (or create one; recommend to do so if you have resources...I have 1 and it's an invaluable thing to have), assign the new VM Network port group to the VM. Change the name of the Port Group and you should see no netwk connectivity loss.<br />

I need to change the network labels on esxi port group and not sure what will happen. &nbsp;I know that it is just a friendly name but want to make sure that will not have any issues if I do this. <br />

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.
