Right now, we have a fresh install of ESXi 6.5 on a standalone server. It has a configured IP on our management network, connected by one NIC to the vSwitch. There are the default 2 port groups for management and VM Network. We want to spin up a VM but that VM is on another VLAN subnet and may have interfaces on possibly other VLAN subnets as well. What is the best approach to this? Do I establish a trunk to an external switch using another NIC, then connect that to a new vSwitch? The same vSwitch? How do I configure the VLAN? It's been a while since establishing new network connectivity, especially on a new and standalone host. Any help for best or common practice would be appreciated. Thanks.
