We can use the the built in esxcli command to change the IP address for a server<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First we need to get the interface name. We can get the info with the following command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

esxcli network ip interface ipv4 get<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Name  IPv4 Address   IPv4 Netmas   IPv4 Broadcast  Address Type  DHCP DNS \n----  ------------  -------------  --------------  ------------  -------- \nvmk0<\/strong>  192.168.0.4   255.255.255.0  192.168.0.0     STATIC           false<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The text in bold is our interface name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set the interface to pull DHCP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The following command will set the interface to use DHCP.  If your interface name is different, then you will want to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set -i vmk0 -t dhcp<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Set a static IP<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can set a static IP address with the following command.  Change the IP and Subnet for the appropriate IP address and Subnet.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
esxcli network ip interface ipv4 set -i -I IP -N Subnet vmk0 -t static<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Changes take affect immediately so you’ll need to re ssh into the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
