Ethernet adapter emulation type.
For more information see: Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet EmulationType.
Flag indicating whether Universal Pass-Through (UPT) compatibility is enabled on this virtual Ethernet adapter.
This property is optional and it is only relevant when the value of type is Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet EmulationType.VMXNE_t3.
Flag indicates whether Uniform Pass-through version 2(UPTv2) compatibility is enabled on this network adapter.
This property was added in vSphere API 8.0.0.1.
This property is optional and it is only relevant when the value of type is Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet EmulationType.VMXNE_t3.
MAC address type.
For more information see: Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet MacAddressType.
MAC address.
May be missing or null if Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet Info.mac_type is Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet MacAddressType.MANUAL and has not been specified, or if Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet Info.mac_type is Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet MacAddressType.GENERATED and the virtual machine has never been powered on since the Ethernet adapter was created.
Address of the virtual Ethernet adapter on the PCI bus. If the PCI address is invalid, the server will change it when the VM is started or as the device is hot added.
May be missing or null if the virtual machine has never been powered on since the adapter was created.
Flag indicating whether wake-on-LAN is enabled on this virtual Ethernet adapter.
Physical resource backing for the virtual Ethernet adapter.
Connection status of the virtual device.
For more information see: Vcenter Vm Hardware ConnectionState.
Flag indicating whether the virtual device should be connected whenever the virtual machine is powered on.
Flag indicating whether the guest can connect and disconnect the device.

}Indicates the authentication challenges applicable to the target API provider. It can be used by a client to discover the correct authentication scheme to use. The exact syntax of the value is defined by the specific provider, the protocol and authentication schemes used.
For example, a provider using REST may adhere to the WWW-Authenticate HTTP header specification, RFC7235, section 4.1. In this case an example challenge value may be: SIGN realm="27da1358-2ba4-11e9-b210-d663bd873d93",sts="http://vcenter/sso?vsphere.local", Basic realm="vCenter"
This property was added in vSphere API 7.0.0.0.
This property is optional because it was added in a newer version than its parent node.

}Stack of one or more localizable messages for human error consumers.
The message at the top of the stack (first in the list) describes the error from the perspective of the operation the client invoked.
Each subsequent message in the stack describes the "cause" of the prior message.
Data to facilitate clients responding to the operation reporting a standard error to indicating that it was unable to complete successfully.
Operations may provide data that clients can use when responding to errors. Since the data that clients need may be specific to the context of the operation reporting the error, different operations that report the same error may provide different data in the error. The documentation for each each operation will describe what, if any, data it provides for each error it reports.
The Vapi Std Errors ArgumentLocations, Vapi Std Errors FileLocations, and Vapi Std Errors TransientIndication schemas are intended as possible values for this property. Vapi Std DynamicID may also be useful as a value for this property (although that is not its primary purpose). Some resources may provide their own specific schemas for use as the value of this property when reporting errors from their operations.
Some operations will not set this property when reporting errors.
Discriminator field to help API consumers identify the structure type.
For more information see: Vapi Std Errors Error Type.
This property was added in vSphere API 6.7.2.
Can be missing or null for compatibility with preceding implementations.
