Welcome to the Community,

did you install ESXi natively on the system or is it running as a VM in e.g. VMware Workstation?

In addition to "Intel VT-x", please ensure "Execute Disable Bit" is enabled in the BIOS. After modifying the settings in the BIOS, make sure you completely power cycle the system (power off/power on). If this still does not solve the issue, please attach the vmware.log file for the router VM.

the esxi is running on a workstation 7.1 and my vcenter is running on window server 2008r2.please where can i enable executable bit vecause i have try but its not working.i have enable VT in my bios as well.

The "Execute Disavle Bit" setting can usually be found under "Security" in most BIOS versions.

To be able to run nested 64 bit VM's you may need to upgrade to VMware Workstation 8 which offers support to “Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RVI” in the virtual machine's - the ESXi VM in your case - CPU options (with virtual hardware version 8).
