Common mistakes.
- A. esxcli network ip get operates at the IP configuration layer (VMkernel interfaces and addresses) and does not report physical link state or uplink status for vmnic devices.
- C. esxcli network vmnic list is not a valid esxcli namespace or subcommand - physical NIC status is accessed through the 'nic' namespace, not a 'vmnic' subcommand.
- D. esxcli network ifconfig get is not a valid esxcli command; ifconfig-style syntax belongs to legacy Linux networking tools and is not part of the esxcli command framework used on ESXi.
