esxcfg-vmknic –a –i 10.10.5.178 –n 255.255.255.0 –m 9000 iSCSI6

To create less VMkernel Ports just skip iSCSI5 and iSCSI6 for example.

To verify the configuration enter the following command:

esxcfg-vswitch –l

This will show the VMkernel ports that are assigned to the vSwitch. To verify the IP addresses enter the following command:

esxcfg-vmknic –l

You can also verify the IP Addresses via the vCenter GUI. Navigate to Configuration ->
