-====== Networking ======
-There are a good number of interfaces on this machine, configured as follows:
-  *  **Onboard NIC 1** - Management: Access to the ESXi console, assigned over DHCP.
-  *  **Onboard NIC 4** - EDLAN uplink into virtual switch 'EDLAN' and port group 'EDLAN Ports' - this switch and port group operates untagged
-  *  **PCIe NICs 1-4** - Trunk uplink into network, connected to virtual switch 'VM switch'. Requires tagged port groups, these have been configured for TardisLAN, Internal, Colo and CompSoc.
-====== Eww ESXi ======
-  *  **'Yes, it's proprietary**' but also fairly nice? It is licensed with a perpetual free licence, only restrictions being no vCentre for clustering.
-  *  **'Kill it with fire!**' - please do, it was an experiment which threw up some issues - namely it can only handle Microsoft AD not OpenLDAP for some obscure reason. Careful though, it has the router on it.
