Rename the Network Connections

To more easily identify and configure the network connections you created when you configured the virtual switch, rename the network connections in the guest operating system to correspond to the Monitor and Management network adapters that are bound to the virtual machine.

Follow these steps:

1. In the VMware vSphere client, identify the MAC address of the Management and Monitor network adapters:
   1. Right-click the virtual machine and click Edit Settings.
   2. In the Virtual Machine Properties, make a note of the MAC address for the Monitor and Management network adapters.
2. In the guest operating system, identify the MAC address of each network connection:
   1. On the Windows desktop, click the Start menu, right-click My Network Places, and click Properties. Or click Start, Control Panel. Right-click Network Connections and click Open.
   2. In Windows Network Connections, right-click a connection and click Properties. In the properties dialog box, click the Support tab and click Details. The Physical Address corresponds to the MAC address of the Monitor and Management network adapters.

   Tip: From a command prompt, you can run the ipconfig /all command to verify the MAC address.

3. Click Cancel.
4. In the Network Connections window, edit the default names to correspond to the appropriate interfaces as follows:
   1. Management
   2. Monitor
