Creating Network Labels

If VMware VirtualCenter manages the virtual machines on your GSX Server hosts, you
must create labels for each virtual network adapter. VirtualCenter uses labels to
identify which virtual network adapter is associated with which physical network.

Each virtual network adapter needs a label:

To avoid confusion in a multiple-host, multiple-network environment. This is the
typical VirtualCenter environment. VirtualCenter can manage virtual machines
on multiple GSX Server hosts.

So you can migrate virtual machines between VirtualCenter hosts. Virtual
machines can be migrated from hosts on the same network only. The label
ensures that VirtualCenter knows to which network the virtual machine is
connected.
