Hi,
I found an awesome PowerCLI function that works fantastically, but I'd really like to get a slightly modified table output that included the following:
| VMHost | PortGroup Name | VMNIC ID | VLAN No. | Switch Port ID | Switch Port ID Connected | Switch Name | Switch VLAN IP |
The following article gives me almost all of the above except:
- The vDS Portgroup Name
- The vDS PortGroup VLAN number
- Take into account that a VMNIC may be a member of more than 1 portgroup
https://www.jonathanmedd.net/2013/07/obtaining-cdp-info-via-powercli.html
I did find a different PowerCLI script that pulls the vDS portgroup VLAN, but doesn't include the configured PortGroup Name, and doesn't take into account that a VMNIC may be a member of more than one PortGroup: Cisco Discovery Protocol
Here's my slightly modified code, but I do not know how to integrate the 3 bullet points above:
