How to have Esxi host connected to two networks
I have a Esxi that is connected to network A ( nic 0 )
I need to connect nic 1 to the other switch ( network B )
How can i configure nic 1 so as to be able to have the host communicating with both networks ?
I am trying to P2V servers that are on network B . The new network is network A. Unfortunately i can not move the legacy servers from network B to network A.

thank you gents !
The Host needs to have an IP Address on BOTH Networks, so how does your soluction work @ghiest for a P2V ?
what is the P2V Endpoint IP Address, if the Host has NO IP Address on both networks!?

There should be some routing between 2 networks...

Does not say that in the question! So there is no routing....
It could be a secure organisation, and network, and they are not allowed to route between them, or it's physical impossible.
Asker wants to connect ESXi hosts to both networks.
Best practice would be to employ vlan trunking and use presence of 2 network cards for better availability.
