Hi Parameshwaran,

Welcome to the VMware Communities,

The concept of service console does not exist anymore in vSphere starting from version 5.0.

What is your actual requirement? Do you want to connect to the ESXi on two management IPs?

Yes i want to connect to ESXi using two Management IP .

Now i am able to connect using fist management IP . second MGMT IP is not pinging as well as not able to connect .

Since there is provision to add a single default gateway, you will need to static route for the second subnet in order to access it.

Check this KB article for the steps : Configuring static routes for vmkernel ports on an ESXi host (2001426) | VMware KB
