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.

The unique identifier for the managed object to which the method attaches; the serialized managed object reference for a request has the form moType/moId
, in this case HostNetworkSystem/{moId}
.
