[Network=<NetworkName>]

[PXE=<enabled|disabled|UseBios>]

[AddressType=Factory-Default|User-Defined>]

[EthernetMAC=<MAC Address> iScsiMAC=<MAC Address>]

[SpeedType=<Auto|Preferred|Custom] [Speed=<speed>]

Parameter

ProfileName (required)

The name of an existing profile to which the new connection is added.

Properties

Network (optional)

The name of an existing network to associate with the connection. If the
network name is not specified, or is set to "unassigned", then the

network remains unassigned. (optional)

PXE (optional)

Enables or disables PXE on the network connection. Valid values are
"enabled", "disabled", and "UseBios". If this value is not specified, the

default is "UseBios".
Only one connection can have PXE enabled per profile.

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, then both an Ethernet MAC Address and
iSCSI MAC Address must also be specified. Valid values include

"Factory-Default" and "User-Defined".

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", the user can configure any speed from

100Mb-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-

MAX Configured speed for the network in 100Mb increments.
