All physical switch ports must be configured with spanning tree disabled.
Description
Discussion Text
Due to the integration of the ESXi Server into the physical network, the physical network (switch) adaptors must have spanning tree disabled or portfast configured for external switches, because VMware virtual switches do not support STP. Virtual switch uplinks do not create loops within the physical switch network. If these are not set, potential performance and connectivity issues might arise.
