Purpose

This article outlines how to specify the NIC teaming policy on a vSwitch or port group from the command line.

Resolution

To Set the NIC teaming policy on a Virtual Switch on an ESXi 5.x

To list the current NIC teaming policy of a vSwitch, use the command:

# esxcli network vswitch standard policy failover get -v vSwitch0

To set the NIC teaming policy of a vSwitch, use this command:

# esxcli network vswitch standard policy failover set -l policy -v vSwitchX

For example, to set the NIC teaming policy of a vSwitch to IP hash:

# esxcli network vswitch standard policy failover set -l iphash -v vSwitch0

Note: Available Policy Options:

explicit = Use explicit failover order

portid = Route based upon port id (This is the Default setting)

mac = Source Based Upon MAC Hash

iphash = Source based up IP hash (This is only to be used in a etherchannel\Portchannel)

To Set the NIC teaming policy on a Port Group

To list the current NIC teaming policy of a port group, run this command:

esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup policy failover get -p "Management Network"

To set the NIC teaming policy of a port group, run this command:

esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup policy failover set -p "Management Network" -l "Policy Options"

To monitor and manage NIC teaming policies in previous versions of ESXi/ESX

To configure NIC teaming on a chosen port group in ESXi/ESX 4.1, use the command:

vim-cmd hostsvc/net/portgroup_set --nicteaming-policypolicy_namevswitchportgroup_name

To confirm your changes, run the command:

In ESXi/ESX4.1:

vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --nicteaming-policy policy vSwitch

In ESXi/ESX 4.0:

vimsh -n -e "hostsvc/net/vswitch_info vSwitch0" | grep policy
