Distributed Switch kernel IP addressing dilemma

$

Hi all,

 

I've got a strange, perhaps a silly question concerning VDSwitch kernels.

 

I have two VDSwitches which are assigned to one vmnic each: VDSwitch1 > vmnic4 and VDSwitch2 > vmnic5. In each VDSwitch, I have management portgroup: MGMT1 and MGMT2.

 

I want to add a host to both VDSwitches for management redundancy. When I added it, its host IP 10.20.64.66 appears in one VDSwitch as the kernel in MGMT portgroup.

 

There is no kernel in the MGMT portgroup of the other VDSwitch so I tried to create the kernel for it. I can give it an IP in the same range as the host IP. Is this correct?

 

What I'm confused about is because the first kernel is the host IP, does the second kernel also have to be the same IP?(which makes no sense to me though)

 

Thanks
