Press <ESC> to return to the main network configuration screen
(Figure10).
Set Host Name, IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and VLAN ID

With the main management network screen displayed (see Figure 10),
scroll and select “VLAN (Optional)”.

Enter your desired management VLAN ID. If you know that you need to
use a specific VLAN ID, make sure your network connection/uplink is not
already tagging at the local switch. Specifying a VLAN ID in the ESX
software and at your network switch will lead to double VLAN ID tagging,
which typically leads to a loss of connectivity of your ESX server. If you do
not know your VLAN ID, it is best to leave this field blank. Once set, press
<ESC> to return to the main network configuration screen.
