VMware vSphere Troubleshooting

Verifying VLAN configuration from CLI

Following are the steps for verifying VLAN configuration from CLI:

1. Log in to vSphere CLI. Type the following command in the console:

   esxcfg-vswitch -l 
   

2. Alternatively, in the vMA appliance, type the vicfg-vswitch command—the output is similar for both commands:

   vicfg-vswitch –l
   

3. The output of the excfg-vswitch –l command is as follows:

   Switch Name      Num Ports   Used Ports  Configured Ports  MTU     Uplinks
   vSwitch0         128         7           128               1500    vmnic3,vmnic2
   
     PortGroup Name        VLAN ID  Used Ports  Uplinks
     vMotion               2231     1           vmnic3,vmnic2
     Management Network    2230     1           vmnic3,vmnic2
   
   ---Omitted output---
   

4. The output of the vicfg-vswitch –l command is as follows:

   Switch Name     Num Ports       Used Ports      Configured Ports    MTU     Uplinks
   vSwitch0 128 7 128 1500 vmnic2,vmnic3 ...
