Msvm_SyntheticEthernetPort class
Represents a synthetic Ethernet adapter. This adapter is the preferred network adapter because of its performance and because changes to it can take effect right away, while it is in use (hot configurability).
The following syntax is simplified Managed Object Format (MOF) code, and it includes all of the inherited properties.
