In ESXi 5.x and 6.x
Note: In ESXi 5.x, most of the legacy commands used in 4.x will continue to work. VMware recommends using their esxcli equivalents where possible as legacy esxcfg commands will be deprecated in a future release.
To restore the Management vmkernel interface to the correct vmnic interface:
View the current vSwitch configuration and vmkernel interface configuration using these commands:
esxcli network vswitch standard list # list current vswitch configuration
esxcli network vswitch dvs vmware list # list Distributed Switch configuration
esxcli network ip interface list # list vmkernel interfaces and their configuration
esxcli network nic list # display listing of physical adapters and their link state
# esxcli network nic list
