Hi,
Can someone tell me what the relevance of the entry in the list of network objects that ends with "/4000" is?
For example, I have 2 on board NIC's along with a 4 port LAN extension on my host giving a total of 6 LAN ports.
When I view the Network monitor for a VM (WEB01) on this host, I see the following entries under the Object column:
WEB01/vmnic0
WEB01/vmnic1
WEB01/vmnic2
WEB01/vmnic3
WEB01/vmnic4
WEB01/vmnic5
WEB01/4000
Thanks,
Bob

Re: Network Monitor
As far as I’m concerned, these numbers are supposed to indicate different virtual adapters in multihomed VMs.
For instance,
• ethernet0 – 4000
• ethernet1 – 4001
The same numbers can be also seen in vSphere client: Performance tab -> Advanced -> Network
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
