After you deploy your system, you can make the following changes to the default network configuration in
VMware vSphere as dictated by your network requirements:
• Change vSwitch names
• Change port group names
• Add and remove additional port groups
• Change the vmnic interface failover order for any additional port groups you have added
H300E, H500E, H700E and H410C compute nodes
NetApp HCI expects the following network configuration for H300E, H500E, H700E and H410C nodes.
The following is a six-interface configuration with VMware vSphere Distributed Switching (VDS). This
configuration is only supported when used with VMware vSphere Distributed Switches, and requires VMware
vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing.
Network function vmkernel vmnic (physical interface)
Management vmk0 vmnic2 (Port A), vmnic3 (Port B)
iSCSI-A vmk1 vmnic5 (Port E)
iSCSI-B vmk2 vmnic1 (Port D)
vMotion vmk3 vmnic4 (Port C), vmnic0 (Port F)
The following is a six-interface configuration with VMware vSphere Standard Switching (VSS). This
configuration uses VMware vSphere Standard Switches (VSS).
Network function vmkernel vmnic (physical interface)
Management vmk0 vmnic2 (Port A), vmnic3 (Port B)
iSCSI-A vmk2 vmnic1 (Port E)
iSCSI-B vmk3 vmnic5 (Port D)
vMotion vmk1 vmnic4 (Port C), vmnic0 (Port F)
The following is a two-interface configuration. This configuration is only supported when used with VMware
vSphere Distributed Switches (VDS), and requires VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus licensing.

iSCSI-B vmk2 vmnic5 (Port D)
vMotion vmk3 vmnic1 (Port C), vmnic5 (Port F)
H610C compute nodes
NetApp HCI expects the following network configuration for H610C nodes.
This configuration is only supported when used with VMware vSphere Distributed Switches (VDS), and
