Explanation

When ESXi hosts deployed via Auto Deploy obtain their IP configuration through DHCP, the management network must be restarted to trigger a new DHCP discovery and lease renewal. In the DCUI, 'Restart Management Network' (Option C) stops and restarts the management network interface, which causes the host to broadcast a new DHCP request and obtain a fresh lease. 'Test Management Network' only performs connectivity checks (ping/DNS) without changing any configuration. 'Restore Network Settings' resets the network to factory defaults, which is destructive and unnecessary. 'Network Restore Options' provides rollback capabilities for manual network configuration changes, not DHCP lease renewal.
