Part 2 – How to list vSwitch “MAC Address table” on ESXi host?
The other way to list MAC addresses of open ports on vSwitches on the ESXi host is based on net-stats tool.
Use this one-liner.
for VSWITCH in $(vsish -e ls /net/portsets/ | cut -c 1-8); do net-stats -S $VSWITCH | grep \{\"name | sed 's/[{,"]//g' | awk '{$9=$10=$11=$12=""; print $0}'; done
This is not a final word. 🙂
