Change Virtual Network Interface Properties
To change properties of a virtual network interface, open the Virtual Interface Properties dialog box by doing one of the following:
-
Click the VM's Networking tab, then select the virtual network interface and click Properties.
-
On the Network page of the New VM wizard, click Edit.
You can change the network location and MAC address of a virtual network interface, and you might also be able to set its I/O priority.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Network | The network location of the virtual network interface. |
| MAC address | The MAC address of the virtual network interface. You can autogenerate this value or enter it manually in the form XY:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is any hexadecimal digit, and Y is 2, 6, A or E. |
| Enable QoS limit | Select this option and enter a value in kilobytes per second (kB/s) to set an optional I/O priority Quality of Service (QoS) setting for maximum network transfer rate. When memory resources are low, using I/O throttling in this way slows the memory processing and helps make the system more stable by preventing crashes. |
