Hi Bhargav,

To enable the external interface, you can either create a new vSwitch through vSphere client and assign the VM to that vSwitch or you can add the external interface to vSwitch1 (assuming you are using this vSwitch for your VMs).

for more information you can refer installation and configuration documents in below link.
