Virtual Standard Switches

CA Virtual Assurance manages policies and properties of standard vSwitches which are abstracted network devices. A VMware vNetwork Standard Switch (vSwitch) operates on a single host and virtual machines on that host can be attached to the standard switch.

A vSwitch can route traffic internally between VMs and link to external networks. vSwitches combine the bandwidth of multiple network adapters and balance communications traffic among them. A vSwitch can handle physical NIC failover.

You can expand the Virtual Standard Switch objects to see the associated ports and portgroups.

• The port groups contain associated virtual machines that use the portgroup.
