You can use these at the VMWare console to configure the management interface (eth0 in the CLI); 
&nbsp; •[tmsh] list sys management-ip 
&nbsp; •[tmsh] create sys management-ip address/netmask 
&nbsp; •[tmsh] modify sys global-settings mgmt-dhcp enabled | disabled 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; If you were referring to the actual VMWare interface its normally the first one listed.

Hi Steve, 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; Thanks for your email. Is there any way to push these configurations using iControl api? I see in the GUI a page Platform which allows us to update this configuration. 
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; do we have an interface in iControl.System.Platform?

Apologies Vishal, I didn't spot you'd posted this in the iControl forum! Unfortunately I've no clue where iControl is concerned. Hopefully someone else can help you out here.  
&nbsp;  
&nbsp; Speaking generally, as iControl is exposed through the management interface this sounds like a risky operation and presumably, if you make the change successfully iControl will stop working as the IP has changed!

Thanks a lot Steve. Updating Ip is my requirement.
