I have 3 servers with dual nic 10gb card. can i connect them directly with cross cable without the need of switch and they will be able to ping each other in same network?
I want to create a vmotion virtual switch in ESXi and put both port, will ESXi find how to get each of the servers by the right interface?
Server A (10.0.0.1)
port1 -> Server B
port2 -> Server C
Server B (10.0.0.2)
port1-> Server A
port 2-> Server C
Server C (10.0.0.3)
port1-> Server A
port2-> Server B
I tried something similar one time but not on ESXi. Two ports can’t have the same IP address so I created an /etc/hosts file so each host knew about the other based on hostname and not ip address.
