Host Network System Update Service Console Virtual Nic

Host Network System Update Service Console Virtual Nic

Configures the IP configuration for a virtual service console network adapter.

IP configuration is required although it does not have to be enabled if the host is an ESX Server system. The dynamic privilege check will check that the users have Network.Assign privilege on the DVPortGroup or the DVS if the port resides on a DVPortGroup or is a stand-alone DVS port.
