Now, how freaking cool is this!? Best of all, this solution should work on ANY system that has a USB-C / Thunderbolt 3 port as long as you are using the driver along with a supported ethernet adapter. IPerf benchmark for Engress traffic (single port USB ethernet adapter): IPerf benchmark for Ingress traffic (single port USB ethernet adapter): I ran a couple of iPerf experiments between two ESXi hosts and the speeds are pretty decent, see the results below. In my setup, I have both the USB 3.0 to Ethernet Adapter as well as the USB-C to Ethernet Adapter functioning on my ESXi 6.5 host. You can also verify that the USB NIC has been claimed by running the lsusb command.

Running the lspci command after the BIOS tweak, I can now see both the Thunderbolt 3 bridge as well as the USB 3.1 controller, where as before it was just showing the TB3 bridge. Once I rebooted, I immediately saw the link up on the USB-C device while ESXi was starting up 😀 Below is a screenshot of the BIOS USB/Thunderbolt Settings and this was the only change required from the system defaults. The next morning, I realize maybe there was some additional settings that needed to be tweaked in the BIOS. With a bit of trial/error, I found out that you needed to enable the " Thunderbolt Boot Support" which apparently is disabled by default, at least on this Dell system. I had tried a few more things but nothing worked and I decided to sleep on it. Once I got ESXi up and running, I was disappointed to see that the USB-C device was not being detected.

Below are the ESXi VIBs or offline bundles that will be required for this solution. The next challenge was getting access to a system that has a USB-C port. After asking around, I finally got my hands on a Dell XPS 13 which has a USB-C port that I could use for a few days. Funny enough, the Dell laptop only has USB 3.0 and USB-C ports, so the first challenge was to disable Secure Boot since I had built a custom ESXi 6.5 image that included my USB 3.0 Ethernet Adapter VIB. What caught my eye about this specific network adapter was that it uses the exact same ASIX AX88179 driver as my USB 3.0 to Ethernet Adapter ESXi VIBs were built off of! There was a good chance this might just work.Īs you can probably guess, I was pretty excited and quickly ordered one of the Plugable USB-C Ethernet Adapters. While searching online, I came across several new USB-C to gigabit ethernet adapters that were now available and one in particular that was very interesting, was the Plugable USB-C to 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Network Adapter. The discussion was completely unrelated to work, however that did get me thinking about the USB-C peripheral market and specifically their ethernet adapters.

While attending an offsite this week, there were some discussions amongst my colleagues about their new Apple Mac Pro and its USB-C only ports.
