Configure ESXi settings using web interface

Prerequisites

Before configuring ESXi settings using web interface, you must configure the ESXi settings using DCUI. For more information, see

Configure ESXi settings—using DCUI.

Steps

1. Using a web browser, go to the ESXi host-level management web interface at https://<ESXi Host Address>/ui.

2. Enter the credentials that were created during the ESXi installation, and then click Log in.

3. In the Navigator pane, click Networking.

The current port groups on the host are displayed by default. One is configured with VLAN information that is entered during

installation and the other is still at zero.

4. Right-click VM Network and then click Edit settings.

8. Click Edit Settings and then select Use Network Time Protocol (enable NTP client).
