ESX networks
You are probably going to need network connections to the following networks
Production (This is your internet LAN network)
Storage (iSCSI or Fibre/HBA connect your ESX to the storage)
Service console (This is the management network)
vMotion network (If you have enterprise you'll want a dedicated NIC for vMotion)
DMZ (Connection to your DMZ)



For redundancy you have some options:
2 cables for production, 1 to each switch
4 cables for production, 2 to each switch, each pair should be ether channeled.

If we used
2 cables for production, 2 for Storage, 1 for mgmt, 1 for vmotion, 1 for DMZ, that's 8 cables

If we used
4 production
4 for storage
1 for mgmt, 1 for vmotion, 1 for DMZ, that's 11 cables
