This cmdlet retrieves the available port groups of hosts, virtual machines, and virtual switches. To specify a server different from the default one, use the Server parameter.
Specifies the IDs of the port groups you want to retrieve.
Note: When a list of values is specified for the Id parameter, the returned objects would have an ID that matches exactly one of the string values in that list.
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is provided or $null value is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-VIServer.
Filters the port groups of the virtual switches connected to hosts in the specified datacenters.
optional
Distributed
SwitchParameter
named
Indicates that you want to retrieve the port groups for DistributedSwitch objects. This parameter is obsolete. To retrieve distributed port groups, use the Get-VDPortgroup cmdlet instead.
optional
Name
String[]
named
wildcards
Specifies the names of the port groups you want to retrieve.
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is provided or $null value is passed to this parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the description of Connect-VIServer.
optional
Standard
SwitchParameter
named
Indicates that you want to retrieve the port groups for VirtualSwitch objects.
Returns only the virtual port groups that are associated with any of the specified tags.
Note: This parameter is compatible only with standard virtual port groups. For distributed port groups, you should use the Get-VDPortgroup cmdlet.
Specifies the hosts whose port groups you want to retrieve. The position of this parameter is deprecated and will be changed in a future release. To avoid errors when you run existing scripts on future PowerCLI versions, specify the parameter by name.
Specifies objects to retrieve one or more VirtualPortGroup objects that are related to them. This parameter accepts vCloud NetworkPool, vCloud ExternalNetwork, and vCloud OrgNetwork objects.
Note: In vCloud Director 5.1 environments, you cannot retrieve a distributed port group from an organization network backed by the distributed port group.
