**Note: After making the above changes, run command "esxcfg-nics -l " on the node to verify that the embedded NIC appears as vmnic0. If it does not, then a RASR reset of the node may be necessary (see: VxRail: Build validation fails on VxRail G560 with error message: "An unknown validation error occurred in VlanLiveValidator" for more information).

A good example:     
  
#esxcfg-nics -l
