Hi,
if CDP is enabled the networkswitches gives some informations to the ESXi Hosts physical network adapters.
Here are the steps to retrive these by PowerCli.
1 | PS D:\> $oVMHost = Get-VMHost -Name myESXiHost.myDomain.org |
Get the networkview of the host
1 | PS D:\> $oViewNetSystem = Get-View $oVMHost.ExtensionData.ConfigManager.NetworkSystem |
Query the infos for each (physical) LAN adapter on a host. Show only if data are available
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | PS D:\> Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMhost $oVMHost -Physical | % { $CDPData=$oViewNetSystem.QueryNetworkHint($_.Name) if($CDPData.ConnectedSwitchPort) { write-host -ForegroundColor Green ("Host: {0} CDP Data for {1}" -f $oVMHost.Name, $_.Name ) $CDPData.ConnectedSwitchPort | fl * $CDPData.ConnectedSwitchPort.DeviceCapability | fl * }} |
