Command for enabling IP Hash on host

[shanrid]

I need the command to check and enable the IP Hash on the switch. We are getting a mismatch even though it said it is enabled in the console.

To enable IP Hash on a given vSwitch, you can use the following vimsh (vmware-vim-cmd)

vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_setpolicy --nicteaming-policy=loadbalance_ip vSwitch0

To check your vSwitch configs, you can use the following:

vmware-vim-cmd hostsvc/net/vswitch_info

Here is a vSphere SDK for Perl script which can do the same that does not require to run within the Service Console -
