Running a lab environment at home with VMWare ESXi 6.5. I have a pair of Nexus 9000v (9.2.4) that is up and running with basic configs from the startup. I am able to SSH to each 9000v fine via mgmt 0. I've created 5 x vSwitch for each port to basically establish a connection between each 9000v. For now I've virtually connected port e1/1 on switch 1 to e1/1 to switch 2 and configured a simple trunk port. The problem is I am unable to get any communication. The vSwitch is set to promiscuous mode to accept and I've set to accept all VLANS. Any assistance on this is appreciated.

Thanks for the link. With some trial and error, I nailed it down to the security settings on the vSwitch.
I created vSwitch to do a one to one connection to port e1/1 on VM1 to e1/1 on VM2.
The link you referenced states "The vSwitch mapping to data port interface is required to have Promiscuous Mode as the Accept mode in order to pass traffic between VMs."
However, I had to check 2 other options then just promiscuous mode. Once I did, I was able to see CDP neighbors and create my peer link and keepalive
I also checked the following:
