$ esxcli network vswitch standard list | grep Name
2.
Create a new Virtual Standard Switch (ensure that the name is unique).
$ esxcli network vswitch standard add -v NVMeTCP
3.
List current VMkernel interfaces (use an unused VMK number).

5.
Create port groups for each VMkernel interface. Repeat the steps for the secondary VMkernel interfaces.
$ esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup add --portgroup-name="vlan801" --vswitch-
name=NVMeTCP
$ esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup set -p vlan801 --vlan-id 801
$ esxcli network ip interface add --interface-name=vmk1 --portgroup-name="vlan801"
$ esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set --interface-name=vmk1 --ipv4=1.1.1.10 --
netmask=255.255.255.0 --type=static
$ esxcli network ip interface tag add -i vmk1 -t NVMeTCP
6.
Verify that VMkernel ports are created.

Set port group policy to override default settings.
$ esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup policy failover set -a vmnic1 -p vlan801
$ esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup policy failover set -a vmnic2 -p vlan802
8.
Verify settings from both UI and CLI.
