ESXI network commands in shell

[oxment]

Hello,

I just noticed that I can't use usual network commands such as ifconfig, in ESXI shell. But I need to configure network properties and edit routing table of esxi server, I just found a list of commands like thi :

esxcli network ip interface list

esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get -n vmk<X>

esxcli network ip interface ipv6 get -n vmk<X>

esxcli network ip interface ipv6 address list

But is it possible to activate normal network commands in ESXI shell enviroment? and if it is not possible can you tell me where can I find the whole list of commands and their equivalent commands in esxi ?

Hi, you can't use linux command to manage ESXi configuration.

You may use esxcgf* commands which are going to be dismissed or esxcli.
