update_spec
structure describes the updates to be made to the configuration of a virtual Ethernet adapter.Representation:
Attributes:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
Required | ||
backing.type | string | Backing type for the virtual Ethernet adapter. Defines the valid backing types for a virtual Ethernet adapter. Value is one of: |
Optional | ||
upt_compatibility_enabled | boolean | Flag indicating whether Universal Pass-Through (UPT) compatibility should be enabled on this virtual Ethernet adapter. This field may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on. Optional. If unset, the value is unchanged. Must be unset if the emulation type of the virtual Ethernet adapter is not VMXNE_t3. |
mac_type | string | MAC address type. This field may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on. Optional. If unset, the value is unchanged. |
mac_address | string | MAC address. This field may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on. Optional. If unset, the value is unchanged. Must be specified if vcenter.vm.hardware.ethernet.update_spec.mac_type is MANUAL. Must be unset if the MAC address type is not MANUAL. |
wake_on_lan_enabled | boolean | Flag indicating whether wake-on-LAN shoud be enabled on this virtual Ethernet adapter. This field may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on. Optional. If unset, the value is unchanged. |
backing | backing_spec | Physical resource backing for the virtual Ethernet adapter. This field may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on. Optional. If unset, the value is unchanged. |
backing.network | string | Identifier of the network that backs the virtual Ethernet adapter. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value [STANDARD_PORTGROUP, DISTRIBUTED_PORTGROUP, OPAQUE_NETWORK]. This field is optional and it is only relevant when the value of |
backing.distributed_port | string | Key of the distributed virtual port that backs the virtual Ethernet adapter. Depending on the type of the Portgroup, the port may be specified using this field. If the portgroup type is early-binding (also known as static), a port is assigned when the Ethernet adapter is configured to use the port. The port may be either automatically or specifically assigned based on the value of this field. If the portgroup type is ephemeral, the port is created and assigned to a virtual machine when it is powered on and the Ethernet adapter is connected. This field cannot be specified as no free ports exist before use. Optional. It is only relevant when type has value DISTRIBUTED_PORTGROUP. May be used to specify a port when the network specified on the |
start_connected | boolean | Flag indicating whether the virtual device should be connected whenever the virtual machine is powered on. Optional. If unset, the value is unchanged. |
allow_guest_control | boolean | Flag indicating whether the guest can connect and disconnect the device. Optional. If unset, the value is unchanged. |
