you can set the following commands in a nutanix CVM. If you are not using nutanix - you can remove the "hostssh" parameter in front of the command.

1. Set active uplink ports in vSwitch0

hostssh esxcli network vswitch standard policy failover set -a vmnic2,vmnic3 -v vSwitch0

2. Remove unused ports in vSwitch0

hostssh esxcli network vswitch standard uplink remove --uplink-name=vmnic0 --vswitch-name=vSwitch0

3. Create VM portgroup in vSwitch 0

hostssh esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup add -p <VM NETWORK> -v vSwitch0

4. Set vlan ID for the newly created portgroup

hostssh esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup set -p <VM NETWORK> --vlan-id 55
