{% step %}
#### **Step 1: Prepare Information**
Login IAM portal -> vCD portal: collect the information
**{{vcd\_url}}**
**{{vm-uuid}}:** select VM -> take a look vm uuid on url
**{{network\_name}}**: Select Networking -> Networks -> Copy the Network name
**{{Bearer Token}}:** Please follow the **“API token login”** document
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
**Step 2: Get VM’s network information**
* GET https\://{{vcd\_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/networkCards
* Authorization: {{Bearer Token}}
* Headers:
\- ‘Accept’: \*/\*;version=37.2
\- ‘Content-type’: application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItem+xml
* SEND request.
Copy **Response Body**
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### Step 3**: Reconfig VM’s networks**
* PUT https//{{vcd\_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/networkCards
* Authorization: {{Bearer Token }}
* Headers:
\- 'Accept’: \*/\*;version=37.2
\- ‘Content-type’: application/vnd.vmware.vcloud.rasdItemsList+xml; charset=ISO-8859-1
Body: *{{select raw -> copy and paste* *response body from Get VM’s networks information }}*
Ex:
```
00:50:56:02:10:2c0true10.10.11.0/24
…………………………………………………………………….
VMXNET310
```

ns10:ipAddress and edit the value in “” (“VM ipv4 address”) – **no need if using DHCP or Pool**
ns10:primaryNetworkConnection and edit the value in “” (paste network name {{netwok\_name}} )
* SEND request.
{% endstep %}
{% step %}
#### **Step 4: Verify**
* **Get VM’s network information.**
GET https\://{{vcd\_url}}/api/vApp/{{vm-uuid}}/virtualHardwareSection/networkCards
