Unfortunately, this information is not available in the GUI and you have to use another CLI command: :~] net-stats -l This option requires the switchport number, a virtual machine nic is connected to as a parameter. This can be achieved by using the switchport option for the pktcap– uw command. interesting part for me is to capture traffic from specific vswitch port to get the traffic for this virtual machine, to be able to analyze the protocols. For a full list refer to the VMWare knowledge base article here: This tool is working like tcpdump on the command line and is able to capture traffic from different locations. Since ESXi version 5.5, VMWare included a traffic capturing tool into ESXi, pktcap– uw. As it is very helpful for me, I will share this with the community. Therefore I was looking for a way to capture traffic of a specific VM or VM network adapter and found something. As I haven’t plenty of hardware I will use VMWare ESXi to simulate most of the stuff using HPE VSR routers. My plan is to blog more about solutions and how to configure them and show how the packets look like.
