boolean
canSetPhysicalNicLinkSpeed
Required

The flag to indicate whether or not a physical network adapter's link speed and duplex settings can be changed through this API.

For a hosted product, the host uses its physical network adapters for network connectivity. Configuration of link speed is done through regular host operations. In ESX Server, the configuration can be changed through this API.

boolean
supportsNicTeaming
Required

The flag to indicate whether or not network adapter teaming is available.

Multiple network adapters can be bridged to a virtual switch through a BondBridge. Also, network adapter teaming policies such as failover order and detection are enabled.

array of string
nicTeamingPolicy
Optional

The available teaming policies if the platform supports network adapter teaming.

boolean
supportsVlan
Required

The flag to indicate whether or not VLANs can be configured on PortGroups attached to VirtualSwitch objects.

This allows VLANs for virtual machines without requiring special VLAN capable hardware switches.

boolean
usesServiceConsoleNic
Required

The flag to indicate whether or not a service console network adapter is used or required.

This means that the system software has two TCP/IP stacks. As a result, at least two types of VirtualNics may be created -- the normal VirtualNic and the service console VirtualNic. If this is not set, then only the VirtualNic type is supported.

boolean
supportsNetworkHints
Required

The flag to indicate whether or not the host is able to support the querying of network hints.

integer As int32 As int32
maxPortGroupsPerVswitch
Optional

The maximum number of port groups supported per virtual switch.

This property will not be set if this value is unlimited.

boolean
vswitchConfigSupported
Required

The flag to indicate whether virtual switch configuration is supported.

This means that operations to add, remove, update virtual switches are supported.

boolean
vnicConfigSupported
Required

The flag to indicate whether Virtual NIC configuration is supported.

This means that operations to add, remove, update virtualNic are supported.

boolean
ipRouteConfigSupported
Required

The flag to indicate whether ip route configuration for the host is supported.

boolean
dnsConfigSupported
Required

The flag to indicate whether DNS configuration for the host is supported.

boolean
dhcpOnVnicSupported
Required

This flag indicates whether or not the host is able to support dhcp configuration for vnics.

boolean
ipV6Supported
Required

The flag to indicate whether the host is capable of communicating using ipv6 protocol

boolean
backupNfcNiocSupported
Optional

The flag to indicate whether the host supports Backup NFC NIOC system traffic, Unset means Backup NFC NIOC system traffic is not supported.

Since: vSphere API Release 7.0.1.0
