    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hello!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You cannot change the Type of the NIC in the GUI. Here you can only delete it and add a new one with the correct type but this will also genereate a new MAC Adresse for your VM. For changing the NIC Type and preserve the MAC Address i always use &lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;PowerCLI/PowerShell -&amp;gt; &lt;A href="https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/VMware.PowerCLI" title="https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/VMware.PowerCLI"&gt;PowerShell Gallery | VMware.PowerCLI 12.0.0.15947286&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;Open PowerShell and install the PowerCLI Modules:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE __default_attr="plain" __jive_macro_name="code" class="jive_macro_code _jivemacro_uid_15889386917831915 jive_text_macro" data-renderedposition="155_8_1232_16" jivemacro_uid="_15889386917831915"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Install-Module -Name VMware.PowerCLI&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;Now you can connect to your vCenter with:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE __default_attr="plain" __jive_macro_name="code" class="jive_macro_code _jivemacro_uid_15889387548653930 jive_text_macro" data-renderedposition="234_8_1232_16" jivemacro_uid="_15889387548653930"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Connect-VIServer -Server yourvcenter.fqdn&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;And change the NIC Type of your VM (the VM must be PoweredOff) - in your case:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;SPAN lang="en"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE __default_attr="plain" __jive_macro_name="code" class="jive_macro_code _jivemacro_uid_15889388147013974 jive_text_macro" data-renderedposition="313_8_1232_16" jivemacro_uid="_15889388147013974"&gt;&lt;P&gt;Get-VM -Name SDWAN_vESXi | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -Type Vmxnet3&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this helps a little bit&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can change this directly from the ESXi host web interface when the VM is power-off, or via modifying details of the VMX file, associated with that VM.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
