Port Groups using vCLI

export VI_SERVER=vcenter.domain.local
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6; do
  esxcli --vihost esxihost-0$i network vswitch standard portgroup list
done

If you can do that, you’ll be able to add new VLANs (called “port groups” in the vCLI nomenclature) to vSwitches from the command line, like this:

export VI_SERVER=vcenter.domain.local
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 ; do
  esxcli --vihost esxihost-0$i network vswitch standard portgroup add -v vSwitch2 -p BeerCan-204
  esxcli --vihost esxihost-0$i network vswitch standard portgroup set -p BeerCan-204 -v 204
done
for i in 5 6 ; do
  esxcli --vihost esxihost-0$i network vswitch standard portgroup add -v vSwitch1 -p BeerCan-204
  esxcli --vihost esxihost-0$i network vswitch standard portgroup set -p BeerCan-204 -v 204
done
