Problem after changing the speed of Host ESXi 6.5.X interface MGT

Hi there, how are you doing, I hope it’s going well.

We have a situation where a change was made forcing the speed of the MGT interface, the management vnic, from the Web-Gui, html vware client, standalone esxi, we tried to force from 100MB to 1Gb to be in tune with the switch, but it did not work and lost access to the Host, at least it is a LAB host, non-productive environments. Despite forcing on the switch the speed from the switch, of the interface, that connects to the ESXI, the ESXI does not lift the network.

Now the option we are considering is directly to the DC, with a laptop to connect from Ethernet to Ethernet, the ESXi card after the change was left in 1GB, and well most of the laptops today are 1GB.

1.- So we are thinking of doing that, a direct connection and make the adjustment via the HTML interface.

2.- Another one is to connect a keyboard and a screen and make the change from the yellow interface directly to the Esxi Host in DCUI, can you change from there?

Thanks for the good vibes, the time and the collaboration.

What other options, suggestions, advice, comments could you tell me.

Thanks

I remain attentive

Best regards
