Hi All,
Iam using an ESX 4.0 Host. Previously my host was using an ip consumed from DHCP. I tried edditing the "ifcfg-vswif0" file at the location /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. I changed the BootProto to "static" fom "DHCP". I then rebooted the server, after which the file "ifcfg-vswif0" was missing from the location /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
Can some one please tell me what it is???
Regards,

Hi,
we need to restart the respective service,whenever made any changes in network... can you restart the network serice by using the following command in CLI
"service network restart"
Hi,
One more suggetion from my side,if you lost ifcfg-vswif0 file than you can creat the new service console by using the following syntax
esxcfg-vswif –a vswif0 –i xx.xx.xx.x –n xxx.xxx.xxx.xx –p "Service Console"
Thank you.. It was very helpful..
