+**Solution:**
+Per commandline we created a new vSwitch. Then a dedicated pNIC (vmnic0) was added to the new vSwitch and a portgroup (Management Network), too.
+The last step was to set the IP address/Subnet.
+After a reconnect from the host in vCenter everything was fine!
+**Used Commands:**
+  esxcfg-vswitch -a vSwitch1
+With this command you can create a new vSwitch named: “vSwitch1”
+  esxcfg-vswitch -A “Management Network” vSwitch1
+now you can assign a portgroup “Management Network” to the new vSwitch1
+  esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic0 vSwitch1
+this step adds pNIC “vmnic0” to the vSwitch1
+  esxcfg-vmknic -a “Management Network” -i 160.xxx.xxx.xxx -n 255.xxx.xxx.xxx
+this command will set the IP address/Subnet
+If necessary you can use the parameter -l (for list) to show the current configuration!
