[OlivierTremolie]

Hi all,

I've got a problem : I can't know the link staus in Virtual Center.

I'm working with ESX 3.0.1, how can I know the status of my network card on console ?

Thank

Olivier

You can run the command

esxcfg-nics -l

It'll give you this:

\[root@localhost root]# esxcfg-nics -l
