ESXI5-VMNET-000003 - All virtual switches must have a clear network label.

Information

Network labels must identify each port group with a name. These names are important because they serve as a functional descriptor for the port group. Without these descriptions, identifying port groups and their functions becomes difficult as the network becomes more complex.

Solution

From the vSphere Client/vCenter, navigate to Home>> Inventory>> Networking. Clearly label/rename all port groups with a meaningful name.
