解决方法：
This is a known issue affecting VMware ESXi 6.5.
This issue is resolved in VMware ESXi 6.5 Update 1, available at VMware Downloads.
To work around this issue if you do not want to upgrade, use any one of these options.
Add the vmxnet3.rev.30 = FALSE parameter in the vmx file of virtual machine:
Power off the virtual machine.
Edit the vmx file and add the below parameter:
vmxnet3.rev.30 = FALSE
Power on the virtual machine.
If you do not want to power off the virtual machine, disable the receive data ring for each vmxnet3 vNIC on the VM by running this command:
ethtool -G ethX rx-mini 0
Note: Replace ethX with virtual machine interface name.
