Does this bring what you want?

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost MyEsx -V2

$esxcli.network.ip.route.ipv4.list.Invoke()

[LucD]

And if you want this for all your ESXi nodes, you could do something like this

foreach($esx in Get-VMHost){

    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2

    $esxcli.network.ip.route.ipv4.list.Invoke() |

    select @{N='VMHost';E={$esx.Name}},*

}

getting error

You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.

Does Get-VMHost return anything?
Are you connected to the vCenter?

[bingzofo]

yes, I am, Get-vmhost its working normally.

Get-EsxCli : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'V2'.

Looks like you are on an older PowerCLI version (do a Get-PowerCLIVersion).

I would suggest to upgrade if possible.

[LucD · Accepted solution]

If you need to stay with the older version, you could do

foreach($esx in Get-VMHost){

    $esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx

    $esxcli.network.ip.route.ipv4.list() |

    select @{N='VMHost';E={$esx.Name}},*

}
