boolean
upt_compatibility_enabled
Optional

Flag indicating whether Universal Pass-Through (UPT) compatibility should be enabled on this virtual Ethernet adapter.

This property may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on.

If missing or null, the value is unchanged. Must be missing or null if the emulation type of the virtual Ethernet adapter is not Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet EmulationType.VMXNE_t3.

boolean
upt_v2_compatibility_enabled
Optional

Flag indicates whether Uniform Pass-through version 2(UPTv2) compatibility is enabled on this network adapter. To enable this feature, the network adapter must connect to a network backed by DPU (Data Processing Unit) and network offloading must be enabled on the network. This property can be only modified when virtual machine is powered off.

This property was added in vSphere API 8.0.0.1.

If missing or null, the value is unchanged. Must be missing or null if the emulation type of the virtual Ethernet adapter is not Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet EmulationType.VMXNE_t3.

string
mac_type
Optional

MAC address type.

This property may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on.

For more information see: Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet MacAddressType.

If missing or null, the value is unchanged.

string
mac_address
Optional

MAC address.

This property may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on.

If missing or null, the value is unchanged. Must be specified if Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet UpdateSpec.mac_type is Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet MacAddressType.MANUAL. Must be missing or null if the MAC address type is not Vcenter Vm Hardware Ethernet MacAddressType.MANUAL.

boolean
wake_on_lan_enabled
Optional

Flag indicating whether wake-on-LAN shoud be enabled on this virtual Ethernet adapter.

This property may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on.

If missing or null, the value is unchanged.

backing
Optional

Physical resource backing for the virtual Ethernet adapter.

This property may be modified at any time, and changes will be applied the next time the virtual machine is powered on.

If missing or null, the value is unchanged.

boolean
start_connected
Optional

Flag indicating whether the virtual device should be connected whenever the virtual machine is powered on.

If missing or null, the value is unchanged.

boolean
allow_guest_control
Optional

Flag indicating whether the guest can connect and disconnect the device.

If missing or null, the value is unchanged.
