As of
ESX 4.0 U2 a new tool for configuring network in the service console
(COS) has been introduced. If you're not too comfortable with CLI then
this might come in handy. The tool will give you a numbered menu and you
can list and configure nics, vswitches, vswifs, etc.
Here's a link to a VMware KB article that presents the tool.
To run the tool, type console-setup in the COS.
Menu entry 1, 2, and 3 will show the output of esxcfg-vswif -l, esxcfg-nics -l, and esxcfg-vswitch -l respectively.
Menu entry 5 will let you configure your service console without having to remember any of the commands. Pretty neat..
