How to Lock the Speed & Duplex on a VMware Flexible
VMware is an application from VMware, Inc. that allows users to run virtual operating systems. One of the components included in some versions of VMware is vSphere, a cloud-computing virtualization application. This program can connect to hosts by using a variety of virtual adapters, such as Flexible adapters. By default, vSphere automatically chooses the best speed and duplex setting to optimize connectivity. Speed and duplex refers to the transfer rate between your local computer and the host. If you prefer to select a specific speed and duplex transfer rate and force VMware to use it always, you can do so by connecting to the host computer and using its configuration tool.
