get Intel NIC version on esxi server

[roopali1]

Hi all,

can someone pls help with the powershell syntax to get the Intel nic version on esxi server.

Below is for Dell and its working however same way its not working for Intel NIC though I changed the driver name 

-------------------------

$dellnic = $esxcli.software.vib.list() | where {$_.name -eq "i40en"}

@{N="Dell NIC Version";E={if($dellnic){$dellnic.version}else{n/a}}}

Does $esxcli.software.vib.list() actually show the Intel NIC and it's version?

[roopali1]

not sure, but the syntax mentioned for dell is working fine and returns nic version like - 1.8.1.9-2vmw.670.3.73.14320388.

Did you try like this?

$intelnic = $esxcli.software.vib.list() | where {$_.name -eq "igbn"}
@{N="Intel NIC Version";E={if($intelnic){$intelnic.version}else{n/a}}}

or with the other name that was returned?

[roopali1]

yeah i tried the same way with both driver names, however not getting any data in output.

What does this return?

$esxcli.software.vib.list() | where {$_.name -match "igbn|ixgben"} |
