CSV Structure Reference
You may omit values if no setting is needed. The columns used to apply values to virtual machine network
configurations are as follows:
n
Adapter ID: A unique identifier used to collect information from multiple rows together for application
to a single virtual machine. Note that settings for entry for VM ID 0 are global settings. This means that
values specified for VM ID 0 are applied to virtual machines that do not have values to override the global
settings. This can be useful, for example, for configuring DNS server information or gateway information.
