Use vSphere Distributed Switch to set network connection

You can use the vSphere Distributed Switch to set network connections so that a vSwitch can span multiple servers. One end of the vSwitch is connected to the Port Group of the virtual machine, and the other end is connected to the uplink of the physical Ethernet adapter on the server. The virtual machine is connected to the physical environment through the physical Ethernet adapter connected to the uplink of the virtual switch.

A distributed switch is a managed entity configured by the vCenter Server system. We recommend that you use the distributed switch architecture when setting up a virtual network,

This allows the VM to maintain consistent network configurations during migration between hosts. Similar to standard switches, distributed switches are the network hubs of virtual machines. A distributed switch can route internal traffic between virtual machines or connect to an external network.

A distributed switch exists between two or more ESX or ESXi hosts that constitute a cluster. The vCenter Server System has distributed switch configurations, and the switches of all hosts are consistent. The uplink port of the distributed switch is connected to the uplink port of the hidden virtual switch. The hidden uplink port of the vSwitch is connected to the physical Nic, while the physical Nic is connected to the physical switch port.
