thank you very much, in this case do not require to add the VMkernel Nic for this subnet. At present there is one available showing up as Services as management it is of existing network IP not the new subnet one.

do not require to add the VMkernel Nic for this subnet.

no, that's not going to help you. There is no need to assign an IP Address to ESXi.
