How to configure the virtual Switch vswitch

When using a physical computer to connect to the physical switch through the physical network card to the network, on the virtual machine on a server usually has more than one network card, virtual machine directly and the virtual machine and the physical machine is how to network it?

Under the VMware vsphere architecture, the servers will be virtualized out of the switch for use by virtual machines, and there are two virtual switches, vswitch virtual switches and Vnetwork distributed virtual switches.

VMware vsphere virtualized one or more virtual switches Vswitch,vswitch provides multiple virtual ports to the virtual machine for networking, while Vswitch connects to external physical networks via the physical network card on the VMware vsphere server.

In VMware vsphere Client configuration-the network can see the status of virtual switches, such as Figure ESXi Server only a virtual Switch vSwitch0, under VSwitch0 There is a VM network, and there is a virtual machine connected to this VM Network, there is also a management network, is the ESXi IP address of the management.

View the properties of the VSwitch0, and you can see that the vswitch is configured with 120 virtual ports.

By editing we can modify the number of VSwitch0 ports, the maximum can be supported to 4,088 virtual ports.
