Setting Up vSphere Networking with vSphere Standard Switches

You can use ESXCLI to set up the vSphere networking.
You can set up your virtual network by performing a set of tasks.
  1. Create or manipulate virtual switches by using
    esxcli network vswitch
    . By default, each
    ESXi
    host has one virtual switch,
    vSwitch0
    . You can create additional virtual switches or manage existing switches. See Setting Up Virtual Switches and Associating a Switch with a Network Interface.
  2. Make changes to the uplink adapter by using
    esxcli network vswitch standard uplink
    . See Managing Uplink Adapters.
  3. Use
    esxcli network ip interface
    to configure the VMkernel network interfaces. See Adding and Modifying VMkernel Network Interfaces.
