esxi-set-network-protocol

Set the ESXi software VIB install acceptanceLevel

Sets the supported IP protocol suites supported on the ESXi system. Supported values are:

  • both - (default) Support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols
  • ipv4 - support ONLY the IPv4 protocol, and disable IPv6 support completely
  • ipv6 - enable IPv6 protocol if not currently on (IPv4 can not be disabled in ESXi)

Warning

Changing IPv4 or IPv6 requires a node restart - and may disconnect the ESXI node from the network. This Task does not validate desired protocol state connectivity after changes are made. Ensure you have appropriate IP addressing in place for continued network connectivity.

If the esxi/set-network-protocol-skip-reboot Param is set to true, the operator is responsible to reboot the ESXi node to implement any protocol changes.
