ESXI – How to find out VMs IP address from SSH

Sometimes I need to get the IP address of a running VM from ESXi SSH. It is pretty straightforward and easy thing to do:
1. Connect to your host via SSH
2. Establish your VM ID

[root@esxi:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms

3. Now to find out the VMs IP address run:

[root@esxi:~] vim-cmd vmsvc/get.guest 13 | grep ipAddress

OUTPUT:
   ipAddress = "10.10.1.109", 
         ipAddress = (string) [
            ipAddress = (vim.net.IpConfigInfo.IpAddress) [
                  ipAddress = "10.10.1.109", 
                  ipAddress = "fe80::20c:29ff:fec8:db22", 
            ipAddress = (string) [
                     ipAddress = "10.10.1.254", 
                     ipAddress = , 
                     ipAddress = , 
                     ipAddress = "fe80::221:55ff:fefb:da4", 
                     ipAddress = ,

Job done.
