Explanation

It is a best practice and requirement to configure ESXi management interfaces in the management domain with static IP addresses and host names. Automated or dynamic methods-- such as DHCP, even with reservations--are not supported for this purpose. Instead, each ESXi host's management network (i.e., the VMkernel management interface) must be manually assigned a unique and consistent static IP.
