ethernet0.ignoreMACAddressConflict = "false" | I think this is another silent default - usually a Nic will not come up if the same Mac exists on the network. |
ethernet0.noPromisc = "true" | This disables - well have a guess - yes , this disables promiscous-mode. |
ethernet0.noForgedSrcAddr = "true" | This disables spoofing of Mac-address |
ethernet0.reassignMAConResume = "true" | I guess this is another silent default - usually VMware tries to assign the same MAC after resume as it was used before resume. |
ethernet0.checkMACAddress = "FALSE" | ESX and WS 6.5 - allows to set a MAC outside the usual range (experimental) |
ethernet0.downWhenAddrMismatch = "false" | see knowledgebase |
this vmx-parameters may help - set them to true or false depending on your needs
