Is it possible to control the network state of a running VM from the commandline?

I would like to

  • disconnect the network
  • change the type either to bridged or nat
  • reconnect the network

I tried running

vmrun.exe -T ws writeVariable path-to-vm.vmx runtimeConfig
  ethernet0.connectionType nat

on a bridged VM but this doesn't change the current state (readVariable will report nat but the VM is still bridged and says so in the Workstation GUI).
