Have you messed up or somehow deleted your service console on your VMWare server? Have you moved your ESX server to a new VLAN, subnet, or facility? How do you get your ESX server to respond via the Service Console if the IP addresses don’t match? The answer is esxcfg-vswif.
esxcfg-vswif - This is the tool to manage your Ethernet interfaces for the Service Console. Forget what you used in previous versions of ESX Server, the “eth” prefix is history.
