Use the traceroute command

e.g. traceroute 158.152.1.222

esxcfg-nics -l
 this will list your nics.

esxcfg-vswitch -l
this will list vSwitches with uplinks

Please advcie  how to check/verify and configure it.

I have 2 physical nics on my esxi host with dual port and looking for teaming b/w 2 diff nics only

your traceroute command is missing from your installation.

there are only two nics listed by the esxcfg-nics command

vmnic0 and vmnic1

if you diagram you have four nics.

you cannot team as you want with only 2 nics.

insert another nic.

how can we get that traceroute back in esxi..please advice, is re installation or repair  

actually issue with my esxi is, m unable to get this in network even configured multiple vlan on chassis swicth ?..so just to troubleshoot whether issue is with or config/blade chassis/network?
please advice if any more options we can try?

and what if i have 2 nic , each have 2 ports..as given in snap?

cant we configure teaming on 2 physical nics here,because i remember it would need only 2 nics for teaming
1. Re-install ESXi.

2. Your nics are both connected to vSwitch0, so are currently probably teamed. You have added two nics to a vSwitch0, so they are teamed.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
