vim.host.VirtualSwitch
======================
The virtual switch is a software entity to which multiple virtual network adapters can connect to create a virtual network. It can also be bridged to a physical network.
:extends: vmodl.DynamicData_
Attributes:
name (`str`_):
The name of the virtual switch. Maximum length is 32 characters.
key (`str`_):
The virtual switch key.
numPorts (`int`_):
The number of ports that this virtual switch currently has.
numPortsAvailable (`int`_):
The number of ports that are available on this virtual switch. There are a number of networking services that utilize a port on the virtual switch and are not accounted for in the Port array of a PortGroup. For example, each physical NIC attached to a virtual switch consumes one port. This property should be used when attempting to implement admission control for new services attaching to virtual switches.
mtu (`int`_, optional):
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) associated with this virtual switch in bytes.
portgroup ([`vim.host.PortGroup`_], optional):
The list of port groups configured for this virtual switch.
pnic ([`vim.host.PhysicalNic`_], optional):
The set of physical network adapters associated with this bridge.
spec (`vim.host.VirtualSwitch.Specification`_):
The specification of a PortGroup.
