VCF 5.1 on VxRail 8.0.200 enables traffic isolation between management VMs and ESXi Management VMkernel Interfaces. This feature enables end users to configure different subnets/VLANs between ESXi mgmt DvGP and mgmt VM DvPG. Before this release, the default networking topology deployed by VCF on VxRail comprised of the ESXi host management interfaces (VMkernel interface) and management components (vCenter server, SDDC Manager, NSX components, VxRail Manager, so forth) being applied to the same distributed virtual port group (DvPG).
