My final script: /etc/rc.local.d/local.sh

VDS_NAME="WAN"

VDS_PORT_ID=0

vusb0_status=$(esxcli network nic get -n vusb0 | grep 'Link Status' | awk '{print $NF}')

count=0

while [[ $count -lt 20 && "${vusb0_status}" != "Up" ]]

do

    sleep 10

    count=$(( $count + 1 ))

    vusb0_status=$(esxcli network nic get -n vusb0 | grep 'Link Status' | awk '{print $NF}')

done

if [ "${vusb0_status}" = "Up" ]; then

    esxcfg-vswitch -P vusb0 -V ${VDS_PORT_ID} "${VDS_NAME}"

fi

Note: to get PORT_ID -> this is your VLAN ID for the switch you want add the uplink:
