Hello,
I recently configured a second VMKernel NIC to be used for iSCSI traffic, which is on a separate VLAN and subnet from the Management Network (vmk0) of the ESXi host. The host can connect successfully to the iSCSI target, however I discovered that I am able to access the vSphere web client and ssh to the host using the IP of the new VMKernel NIC (vmk1). The management service is disabled on the NIC however it can still be used to manage the host.
Both vmk0 and vmk1 connect to different vSwitches, each of which has a single physical uplink.
I may have missed something obvious but is there a way to disable management of the host (vSphere web, SSH etc.) from this new NIC (10.0.4.46)? I only want to be able to connect to the host on 10.0.3.100.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
