    my vmk0 is my management int and my vmk1 is my vmotion

    but when type in esxcfg-route

    it shows my local gateway and the interface is vmk2

    why is that?

    yes vmkernel is set. vmotion is set on using vmk1.

    vmk0, vmk1, vmk2, vmk3 are in use

    vmk0 is management

    vmk1 is vmotion

    vmk2 is iscsi

    vmk3 is iscsi

    all on the same network.

    but why is esxcfg-route show vmk2

    Are you using host profiles?  It's been known to re-order the vmk nics and move the management vmk to another number.

    no not using host profiles. I know its recommended that iscsi and vmotion are on different vlan but i cannot separate them out.
