→Modifying Virtual Network Adapter Settings
In the above figure, the virtual machine is currently powered on causing the ''MAC addess Address'' settings to be disabled (since it is unwise to change the MAC address of a device while it is in operation). Conversely, had the virtual machine been powered off the options to connect or disconnect the virtual network adapter would have been disabled. An overview of the various settings available is as follows:
* '''Connect''' - This setting is only active when the virtual machine is in the ''powered on' state. If the virtual network adapter is not currently connected to the designated virtual network, this option establishes a connection.
* '''Disconnect''' - Also only active when the virtual machine is powered on. Disconnects the virtual machine from the designated virtual network "(much like unplugging the network cable from a physical network interface card).
* '''Connect at power on''' - Controls whether the virtual network adapter is automatically connected to the specified virtual network when the virtual machine is powered on.
