Description

AddressType (optional)

The source of MAC address assignments to be used during the creation of

the new connection. If not specified, the default is the domain default. If
"User-Defined" is specified, both an Ethernet MAC Address and iSCSI

MAC Address must also be specified. Valid values include

"Factory-Default" and "User-Defined".
IMPORTANT: "User-Defined" addresses within the domain address pool

range are permanently depleted from the pool and can only be re-used as

"User-Defined". Deleting the profile does not return the address to the
pool. Deleting the domain is the only way to return "User-Defined"

addresses to the pool.

EthernetMAC (required if

AddressType is

User-Defined)

The user-defined Ethernet MAC address to use for the connection. This

property is required if the AddressType specified is "User-Defined".

iScsiMAC (required if

AddressType is

User-Defined)

The user-defined iSCSI MAC address to use for the connection. This

property is required if the AddressType specified is "User-Defined".

SpeedType (optional)

The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include

"Auto", "Preferred", and "Custom". The default value is "Preferred".
If the speed type is "Auto", the maximum port speed is determined by the

maximum configured speed for the network.

If the speed type is "Preferred", the speed of the network is the same as the
preferred speed of the network to which the connection is associated. If no

preferred speed is configured for a network, it defaults to "Auto".

If the speed type is "Custom", you can configure a speed from 100Mb to
MAX configured speed for the network in 100Mb increments.

Speed (required if the

SpeedType is Custom)

The user-defined speed for the server port. Valid values include 100Mb to

MAX configured speed for the network in 100Mb increments.
