Virtual Switches provide level-2 connectivity between Virtual Systems and internal or external networks. This section describes how to define and configure a Virtual Switch. As with physical switches, each Virtual Switch maintains a forwarding table containing entries that describe known networks and directions for reaching them.
You can define Virtual Switches for external and internal communications.
