Set-VDPortgroup
This cmdlet modifies the configuration of distributed port groups. You can set the properties of the distributed port group manually, provide a backup profile to import the port group configuration, or rollback to the last valid configuration.Note: You can import or rollback a configuration only on vSphere 5.1 and later.

Parameters
| Required | Parameter Name | Type | Position | Features | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| required
|
VDPortgroup | VDPortgroup[] | named |
|
Specifies the distributed port group that you want to configure. |
| optional | DisableVlan | SwitchParameter | named |
|
Sets the VLAN type of the distributed port group to None. This parameter is obsolete. Use the corresponding parameter from the Set-VDVlanConfiguration cmdlet instead. |
| optional | Name | String | named |
|
Specifies a new name for the distributed port group that you want to configure. |
| optional | Notes | String | named |
|
Specifies a new description for the distributed port group that you want to configure. |
| optional | NumPorts | Int32 | named |
|
Specifies a new number of ports on the distributed port group that you want to configure. |
| optional | PortBinding | DistributedPortGroupPortBinding | named |
|
Specifies a new port binding setting for the distributed port group that you want to configure. This parameter accepts Static, Dynamic, and Ephemeral values. Note: Dynamic port binding is deprecated. For better performance, static port binding is recommended. |
| optional | PrivateVlanId | Int32 | named |
|
Specifies the secondary VLAN ID of a vSphere distributed switch's private VLAN configuration entry. This parameter is obsolete. Use the corresponding parameter from the Set-VDVlanConfiguration cmdlet instead. |
| optional | RunAsync | SwitchParameter | named |
|
Indicates that the command returns immediately without waiting for the task to complete. In this mode, the output of the cmdlet is a Task object. For more information about the RunAsync parameter run "help About_RunAsync" in the VMware PowerCLI console. |
| optional | Server | VIServer[] | named |
|
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 | VlanId | Int32 | named |
|
Specifies a new VLAN ID for the distributed port group that you want to configure. The VLAN IDs of 0 and 4095 are reserved and cannot be used. This parameter is obsolete. Use the corresponding parameter from the Set-VDVlanConfiguration cmdlet instead. |
| optional | VlanTrunkRange | VlanRangeList | named |
|
Specifies a new VLAN trunk range for the distributed port group that you want to configure. Valid values are strings representing ranges of IDs. For example, "1-4, 6, 8-9". This parameter is obsolete. Use the corresponding parameter from the Set-VDVlanConfiguration cmdlet instead. |
Parameters

| required
|
VDPortgroup | VDPortgroup[] | named |
|
