PowerCLI esxi host Physical nic info in nice table format

This powershell script gets information about physical nic CDP, Bandwidth, Duplex, Svswitch or dvswitch connected to etc.. Replace 192.168.33.21 with your vcenter or esxi host FQDN or IP address.

I have tested this script with powershell v3, powercli v5.5 and vsphere 5.x.

I  have written script to pull information from CDP as well as LLDP also check this link.

Save complete virtual PortGroup information Settings - Powercli

Powercli Pull CDP and LLDP information in single nice table format - Part 2

Hi Kunal,

The vSwitch info is coming as blank. We have DVS in env.

Need to change -eq with -contains operator for dvswitching bit to work

before
if ($vmnic.Name -eq $DVNic) {

$vSwitch = $DVswitchInfo | where-object {$vmnic.Name -eq $DVNic} | select-object -ExpandProperty Name

after
if ($DVNic -Contains $VMnic.Name) {
$vSwitch = $DVswitchInfo | where-object {$DVNic -Contains $VMnic.Name} | select-object -ExpandProperty Name

Hi,
is it possible to also view if a vmnic is removed from the uplink ports?
This is great but shows that there's a connection upstream but what if the physical network adapter is removed from an uplink?
