Is there that a limit on how many NICs can be associated with a group of ports?

So, I have a large box with two onboards and two quad ethernet cards.

Vswitch0

port groups

Service console - vmnic6 vmnic5

kmkernel - vmnic5, vmnic6

Vswitch1

port groups

VMotion - vmnic4, vmnic0

Vswitch2

port groups

external - vmnic2, vmnic3, vmnic8, vmnic9, vmnic1, vmnic7

The problem we had was when we grew up the server on the net and took it out of the way now, we noticed servers you access, but not ping. So, we watched the distrabution of ip dhcp and noticed that vmnic1 and vmnic7 did not have an assigned ip address range as the others did.

So is there a limit vnic for grouping of network cards in a port group?

Welcoem to the Forums - according to the rate maximum config - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/r35u2/vi3_35_25_u2_config_max.pdf - number maximum fo physical NIC by vswitch are 32 - ip addresses, you're seein' are discovered by the esx on the physical port, these vmnic connect to.
