ESXi NICs - mac learning in physical swtich

[Bharath93]

ESXi host having 4 NIC card, assigned 2 for ESXi management and vmotion and another 2 for VM traffic (VLANs). 

Need to know will the mac address of all the 4 NIC cards will be learnt in the physical switch ? or how will the traffic flow and what mac will be learnt in physical switch ?

The MAC addresses of the physical NIC ports don't need to be learned, since they are being used as uplink ports between the physical switch and virtual switch.

Packets are sent and received using MAC addresses of virtual NICs (such as those of a VM or of the VMkernel) not of the physical NIC ports.
