Attributes:

Name Type Description
Required
-.dns DNS_info DNS configuration. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
-.dns.mode string DNS mode. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.

Describes the source of DNS servers. This enumeration was added in vSphere API 6.7. Value is one of:
DHCP: The DNS servers addresses are obtained from a DHCP server. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.
STATIC: The DNS servers addresses are specified explicitly. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.
-.dns.hostname string Hostname. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
-.dns.servers string[] Servers. This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.
-.interfaces object Interface configuration as a key-value map where key is a network interface name, for example, "nic0". This attribute was added in vSphere API 6.7.

When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the key in the field key/value pairs must be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.appliance.networking.interfaces. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the key in the field key/value pairs will be an identifier for the resource type: com.vmware.appliance.networking.interfaces.Object with element values of type interface_info.
