It is my understanding that you can have a multihomed environment but that may have been an older Appliance. I have successfully teamed the NICS. I have also had different subnets on different NICs. the caveat here is this was several years back and I am not sure if this is eligible for the newer releases.

I got some similar answer from support :
Yes, you should be able to add additional NIC's to the appliance. Here are some VMWare documentation on the process:
- https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsphere-vm-administration/GUID-47765AC6-38AA-4ADB-84DF-5094EDA718EC.html
- https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-47765AC6-38AA-4ADB-84DF-5094EDA718EC.html
Once added, you may want to enable NIC teaming, using the previous documentation I provided. The VM should only have 1 IP address, but you can utilize multiple NICs for Redundancy/Reliability.
The appliance is restricted to one IP because it is predefined with OVF template for VmWare?
