Maximum VMWare Network Interfaces

Inside an ESXI platform there is a number of Network interface limit

By default VMWare ESXI accept a maximal of 10 Network interfaces per Virtual machine.

The limit of Network interfaces on a VMWare Virtual machine is 10

Issue with more than 4 VMXNET3 Network Interfaces.

With Artica and after 4 VMXNET3 Interfaces the network is unavailable.

This configuration occurs only on VMWare system and we did not replicate this issue on Nutanix, Citrix and HyperV hypervisors.

The workaround is to use E1000E driver for the next network interfaces.
E1000E Network interface bandwidth is limited to 1GB/s instead of 10GB/s
