Research direction
Review existing samples in the repository to understand the pattern. Use pyVmomi's `about` method to retrieve host details, then iterate over network interfaces to find management IP. The sample should use `connect.SmartConnect()` and retrieve the `host` object. Highlight the management IP using `host.config.network.vnic` or similar.
