Hello All
We have installed CUCM in VmWare environment.
To match the switch speed with that of hypervisor and CUCM , we changed mode and speed in hypervisor.
However while attempting to do that in CUCM we issued the following command
-> set network nic eth0 auto en
And received the following error
"This is a virtual machine which doesnt support this command.
So wanted to check for all the enterprises running their CUCM in VmWare environment whats the network speed and mode set at.
Is there no way we can set this to AUTO.
Thanks

Hi Alok,
You can check the mode and speed using the below command:
show network eth0

Please find the network status for current setting. We are trying to set this from AUTO disabled to AUTO enabled.
admin:show network eth0
Ethernet 0

Hi Alok,
This needs to be done on the VM side. The below KB could be of help:

But please note that changing the Nic mode could result in service disruption.

Alok,
Did you find a resolution for this? I was having intermittent connectivity issues on a new install and noticed that eth0 was set for auto disabled, full 10000 just like yours. In the vSphere client the NICs are set to auto-negotiate and are running 100/full. CUCM CLI will not accept the 'set network nic eth0 auto en' command.
I've done several deployments but have not seen this issue before. However this is the first BE6K-S deployment we've done and it had a partial config pre-loaded prior to shipping from the distributor.

Just to follow up on this, this is apparently the default behaviour with a virtualized deployment. I've installed many of these, but never had occasion to check so never noticed. I went back and checked a couple of other 10.x deployments and they show the same NIC settings.
