Enable/Disable network interface in VM

[hlago]

Hi, how can I disconnect (enable/disable) a network interface from the VME GUI? This is a simple task in VMware, for example, but I can't seem to find the option in the VME interface. Thanks a lot!

Hello @hlago 

For VMware VMs, you can disconnect or reconnect a network interface directly from the vSphere (vCenter or ESXi) GUI:

Steps in vSphere Web Client:

Log in to vCenter or ESXi host.
Select the VM you want to modify.
Click Actions → Edit Settings.
In the Virtual Hardware section, find the Network adapter you want to manage.
Use the Connected checkbox:

Uncheck → disconnect the NIC.
Check → reconnect the NIC.

Click OK to apply changes.

I'm referring to performing this task in VME. However, I believe it cannot be done through the GUI. It would be great if this option were incorporated in future versions.
