I have 3 servers with dual nic 10gb card. can i connect them directly with cross cable without the need of switch and they will be able to ping each other in same network?

I want to create a vmotion virtual switch in ESXi and put both port, will ESXi find how to get each of the servers by the right interface?

Server A (10.0.0.1)

port1 -> Server B

port2 -> Server C

Server B (10.0.0.2)

port1-> Server A

port 2-> Server C

Server C (10.0.0.3)

port1-> Server A

port2-> Server B

I'd be wary of loops with your setup to be honest. Wouldn't it be possible to have server A go to B, B to C, and switch both interfaces of B in the same vswitch? Ngl I'm not that knowledgeable about esxi.

I've done this before without any loop issues.
