Sometimes you need to change the MTU on a vmkernel interface and sometimes it does not work from web UI. Or you just like more to do stuff from command line.
Ok, let's get into it!
List interface and MTU 1500 is presented
[root@eeny:~] esxcli network ip interface list
vmk0
Name: vmk0
MAC Address: t4:rg:zr:o2:2e:a3
Enabled: true
Portset: vSwitch0
Portgroup: Mgmt
Netstack Instance: defaultTcpipStack
VDS Name: N/A
VDS UUID: N/A
VDS Port: N/A
VDS Connection: -1
Opaque Network ID: N/A
Opaque Network Type: N/A
External ID: N/A
MTU: 1500
TSO MSS: 65535
Modify the MTU on vmkernel interface (no output on command - it's OK)
[root@eeny:~] esxcli network ip interface set -i vmk0 -m 9000
List interface and MTU 9000 is presented
[root@eeny:~] esxcli network ip interface list

MAC Address: t4:rg:zr:o2:2e:a3
Enabled: true
Portset: vSwitch0
Portgroup: Mgmt
