connection of ESX Server or other Server directly to MX85

hello, is there a best practice for connecting ESX Server and another Server to the network? Can these be connected directly to MX85 or is a capable MS switch recommended? Thank you.

Kind of a big deal

Best practice would be something like a "Datacenter Switch" that your server(s) are connected to. As you normally have more than one server in place something like the MX would pose a serious limitation due to its limited number of ethernet ports.

 

Some customers on the other hand have a (very) low number of DMZ servers directly connected to the MX, but even this is a rather special case.
