The vSphere CLI is basically the RCLI (Remote CLI) recently renamed to vCLI that is available as an installation on Windows/Linux or part of vMA management appilance.
vCLI supports both ESX(i) 3.5 and 4.0 and can be downloaded at:
If you need RCLI 1.0 for whatever reason, you can download it here:
In either case, both support ESX(i) 3.5u2 or greater.
If you look at the documentation, you'll notice that the esxcfg-/vicfg- commands will be located at:
C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin (Windows)
/usr/sbin/ (Linux/vMA)
Hopefully this clears up any confusion and it's always good to take a look at the documentation.
