Manage Uplink Adapters with vicfg-nics

You can use
vicfg-nics
 to manage uplink adapters.
The following example workflow lists an uplink adapter's properties, changes the duplex and speed, and sets the uplink to autonegotiate its speed and duplex settings. Specify one of the options listed in Connection Options for vCLI Host Management Commands in place of
<conn_options>
.
  1. List settings. 
    vicfg-nics <conn_options> -l
    This command lists the uplinks in the system, their current and configured speed, and their duplex setting.
  2. Set the settings for
    vmnic0
     to
    full
     and the
    speed
     to 100. 
    vicfg-nics <conn_options> -d full -s 100 vmnic0
  3. Set
    vmnic2
     to autonegotiate its speed and duplex settings. 
    vicfg-nics <conn_options> -a vmnic2
