Explanation
The DCUI (Direct Console User Interface) on an ESXi host includes a built-in 'Test Management Network' option under the Network Configuration menu. This utility pings the configured default gateway and DNS servers to verify connectivity and confirm the IP settings are correct - all without requiring vCenter, the vSphere Client, or any external tools. It is the fastest, most direct method available from the console itself immediately after configuration.
