vim-cmd hostsvc/net/query_networkhint | less
The less command allows the output to only be allowed to one screen at a time.
The output is shown as follows:
(vim.host.PhysicalNic.NetworkHint) {
dynamicType =,
device = "vmnic3",
subnet = (vim.host.PhysicalNic.NetworkHint.IpNetwork) [
(vim.host.PhysicalNic.NetworkHint.IpNetwork) {
dynamicType =,
vlanId = 0,
ipSubnet = "ip range",
}
],
connectedSwitchPort = (vim.host.PhysicalNic.CdpInfo) {
dynamicType =,
cdpVersion = 2,
timeout = 0,
ttl = 123,
samples = 68,
devId = "switch name",
address = "switch ip",
portId = "GigabitEthernet0/10",
deviceCapability = (vim.host.PhysicalNic.CdpDeviceCapability) {
dynamicType =,
router = true,
transparentBridge = false,
sourceRouteBridge = false,
networkSwitch = true,
host = false,
igmpEnabled = true,
repeater = false,
},
softwareVersion = "Cisco IOS Software, C3560 Softw",
hardwarePlatform = "cisco WS-C3560G-48TS",
ipPrefix = "0.0.0.0",
ipPrefixLen = 0,
vlan = 21,
fullDuplex = true,
mtu = 0,
systemName = "",
systemOID = "",
mgmtAddr = "switch ip",
location = "",
},
a little cryptic but it tells you the vmnic#, what port it is connected to and management ip on the switch.
