Host Network System Update Virtual Switch

Host Network System Update Virtual Switch

Updates the properties of the virtual switch.

If the bridge is NULL, the configuration will be unset.

If a network adapter is listed in the active or standby list, then changing the set of network adapters to which the physical network adapter is associated may have a side effect of changing the network adapter order policy. If a network adapter is removed from the bridge configuration, then the network adapter is removed from the network adapter teaming order.

The BondBridge configuration is the only valid bridge configuration for an ESX Server system.

See also HostNicOrderPolicy.
