Description

Currently there is no way to set the MTU of a network interface in the clone section. If any networks on a VM require a custom MTU you cannot use the customize section of the clone section for vsphere_virtual_machine

Use Case(s)

Setting MTU to specific values without having to remove the customize block and rely on the userdata/meta data. This would allow the generated netplan to sync to the mac addresses generated during vm provisioning instead of relying on the network interfaces having consistent naming IE ens192/eth0.

This would also add to reliability if the interfaces are ever re arranged or modified as we should not expect the MAC addresses to change.

Potential Terraform Provider Configuration

clone {
template_uuid = data.vsphere_virtual_machine.template.id
customize {
linux_options {
host_name = "hello-world"
domain = "example.com"
}
network_interface {
ipv4_address = "172.16.11.10"
ipv4_netmask = 24
mtu = 9000
}
ipv4_gateway = "172.16.11.1"
}
}

We have also a similar need to set MTU via this provider.
