distributed Switch with single port

Hi,

I'm trying to create a distributed switch network and use the networking features like bw limit and monitoring and etc.

Each server(esxi) in our Vcenter, has two port/interface which only one of those are connected to 1Gbps network and the other one is Down(attached)

I already watched many videos about this, all people have like 4 interfaces at least and they configure this easily! now, I wonder if this is even possible in my situation. or I should ask the provider to connect the second interface to the network as well.

 

PS: Im not looking for high-availability, just need to use the other features of distributed switch

one port is enough for you ...

It will be ok.

vMotion between ESXi hosts is running on 1 Gbit/S port?
