Create a new TCP/IP stack

Hello,

Standalone host with the latest VMware ESXi 7.0.2 build-17630552.

Create a new TCP/IP stack via the following command.

esxcli network ip netstack add -N STORAGE
esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup add -p STORAGE -v vSwitch0
esxcli network vswitch standard portgroup set -p STORRAGE -v 200
esxcli network ip interface add -i vmk1 -N STORAGE -p STORAGE
esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set -i vmk1 -t static -I 192.168.200.11 -N 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.200.254

 

Q1: "esxcli network ip route ipv4 list", there’s no route be added for interface vmk1.

Q2: There’s a new TCP/IP stack be seen in the Host Client WebUI, but can’t edit.

Would someone please to tell me how to solve this problem, thanks.

Hi, 1. To get route, you should also point new stack, likenetwork ip route ipv4 list -N STORAGE 2. You can edit in only in CLI

Hello,

After showing the routing table of netstack=STORAGE, it seems the gateway setting is not working.

[root@ESXi:~] esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set -i vmk1 -t static -I 192.168.200.11 -N 255.255.255.0 -g 192.168.200.254
[root@ESXi:~] esxcli network ip route ipv4 list --netstack=STORAGE

Network        Netmask        Gateway  Interface  Source
-----------    -------------  -------  ---------  ------
192.168.200.0  255.255.255.0  0.0.0.0  vmk1       MANUAL
