network

Operations that pertain to the maintenance of networking on an ESX host. This includes a wide variety of commands to manipulate virtual networking components (vswitch, portgroup, etc) as well as local host IP, DNS and general host networking settings.

diag

  • ping
Send ICMP echo requests to network hosts.
  • esxcli network diag ping CMD_OPTIONS
CMD_OPTIONS
 -c|--count=<long>     Specify the number of packets to send.
 -D|--debug            VMKPing debug mode.
 -d|--df               Set DF bit on IPv4 packets.
 -H|--host=<str>       Specify the host to send packets to. This parameter is required when not
                       executing ping in debug mode (-D)
 -I|--interface=<str>  Specify the outgoing interface.
 -i|--interval=<str>   Set the interval for sending packets in seconds.
 --ipv4                Ping with ICMPv4 echo requests.
 --ipv6                Ping with ICMPv6 echo requests.
 --netstack=<str>      Specify the TCP/IP netstack which the interface resides on
 -N|--nexthop=<str>    Override the system's default route selection, in dotted quad notation.
                       (IPv4 only. Requires interface option)
 -s|--size=<long>      Set the payload size of the packets to send.
 -t|--ttl=<long>       Set IPv4 Time To Live or IPv6 Hop Limit
 -W|--wait=<str>       Set the timeout to wait if no responses are received in seconds.
