Properties
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| distributedVirtualPort* | DistributedVirtualSwitchPortConnection |
DistributedVirtualPort or DistributedVirtualPortgroup
connection. To specify a port connection, set
switchUuid and portKey
properties. To specify a portgroup connection, set
switchUuid and portgroupKey
properties.
When reconfiguring a virtual NIC, this property indicates the new portgroup to which the virtual NIC should connect. You can specify this property only if you do not specify distributedVirtualPort and opaqueNetwork Since vSphere API 4.0 |
| externalId* | xsd:string |
An ID assigned to the vmkernel adapter by external management plane.
The value and format of this property is determined by external management
plane, and vSphere doesn't do any validation. It's also up to external
management plane to set, unset or maintain this property.
This property is applicable only when opaqueNetwork property is set, otherwise it's value is ignored. Since vSphere API 6.0 |
| ip* | HostIpConfig |
IP configuration on the virtual network adapter.
|
| ipRouteSpec* | HostVirtualNicIpRouteSpec |
The ip route configuration used by the vmkernel adapter. This attribute
allows the vmkernel adapter to specify its own default gateway.
Since vSphere API 6.5 |
| mac* | xsd:string |
Media access control (MAC) address of the virtual network adapter.
|
| mtu* | xsd:int |
Maximum transmission unit for packets size in bytes for the virtual
NIC. If not specified, the Server will use the system default value.
Since vSphere API 4.0 |
| netStackInstanceKey* | xsd:string |
The NetStackInstance that the virtual NIC uses, the value of this property
is default to be vim.host.NetStackInstance.SystemStackKey#defaultTcpipStack
Since vSphere API 5.5 |
| opaqueNetwork* | HostVirtualNicOpaqueNetworkSpec |
Opaque network (HostOpaqueNetworkInfo) to which the
virtual NIC is connected.
When reconfiguring a virtual NIC, this property indicates the specification of opaque network to which the virtual NIC should connect. You can specify this property only if you do not specify distributedVirtualPort and portgroup. Since vSphere API 6.0 |
| pinnedPnic* | xsd:string |
The physical nic to which the vmkernel adapter is pinned. Setting this value
ensures that the virtual NIC will access external network only via the
the specified physical NIC.
This property is applicable only when opaqueNetwork property is set. If the vmkernel adapter is connected to a portgroup or dvPort, then such pinning can be achieved by configuring correct teaming policy on the portgroup or dvPort or dvPortgroup that is connected to virtual NIC. Since vSphere API 6.0 |
| portgroup* | xsd:string |
Portgroup (HostPortGroup) to which the virtual NIC is connected.
When reconfiguring a virtual NIC, this property indicates the new portgroup to which the virtual NIC should connect. You can specify this property only if you do not specify distributedVirtualPort and opaqueNetwork Since vSphere API 4.0 |
| systemOwned* | xsd:boolean |
Set to true when the vmkernel adapter is configured by
other system indirectly other than by the user directly.
Since vSphere API 7.0 |
| tsoEnabled* | xsd:boolean |
Flag enabling or disabling TCP segmentation offset for a virtual NIC.
If not specified, a default value of true will be used.
Since vSphere API 4.0 |
