1) First you should have access to the DCUI (Direct Console User Interface) on the ESXi host, physically or using a remote administration tool like HP iLO.

2) Log in pressing F2 key and enter your credentials,

3) Select Troubleshooting Options.

 

There you can see the options

* Enable ESXi Shell

* Enable SSH

 

Enable and disable as desired.

 

Keep in mind that an alert will appear on the vSphere client interface, warning that the SSH access is enabled.
