Explanation: Restart the Management Network
Restarting the management network interface might be required to restore networking or to renew a DHCP lease.
Restarting the management network will result in a brief network outage that might temporarily affect running virtual machines.
If a renewed DHCP lease results in a new network identity (IP address or host name), remote management software will be disconnected.
Procedure
1 . From the direct console, select Restart Management Network and press Enter. 2 . Press F11 to confirm the restart.
