To create less VMkernel Ports just skip iSCSI5 and iSCSI6 for example.
To verify the configuration enter the following command:
esxcfg-vswitch –l
This will show the VMkernel ports that are assigned to the vSwitch. To verify the IP addresses enter the
following command:
esxcfg-vmknic –l
You can also verify the IP Addresses via the vCenter GUI. Navigate to Configuration ->
Networking.
