pay attention, it is for vSMART/Controller, so you need 2 vnics only. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/sdwan/release/notes/compatibility-and-server-recommendations/ch-server-recs-20-3.html

The two NICs are required for the following purposes: Management NIC: This NIC is used for managing the vSmart controller and connecting to the management network. It is typically assigned an IP address from the management network and used for administrative tasks, software upgrades, and communication with other SD-WAN components. Data NIC: This NIC is used for the data plane traffic, including the Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) and data plane tunnels (vPaths) between SD-WAN devices. It is assigned an IP address from the transport network (typically a non-routable address) and participates in the SD-WAN fabric’s control and data plane communication.

To start the Cisco SD-WAN Controller, you must create a virtual machine (VM) instance for it on a server that is running hypervisor software. This article describes how to create a VM on a server running the VMware vSphere ESXi Hypervisor software. You can also create the VM on a server running the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) Hypervisor software. For server requirements, see Server Hardware Recommendations. To create a Cisco SD-WAN Controller VM instance on the ESXi hypervisor: 1. Launch the vSphere Client and create a Cisco SD-WAN Controller VM instance. 2. Add a vNIC for the management interface. 3. Start the Cisco SD-WAN Controller VM instance and connect to the console.
