VMware vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) Walkthrough
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, managing complex network environments has become a necessity for organizations looking to optimize their infrastructure. VMware, a pioneer in virtualization technologies, offers a powerful solution: the vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). This advanced networking tool enables seamless management of networking configurations across multiple hosts, streamlining network administration and improving performance.
One of the key features of vDS is the ability to create Distributed Port Groups (DPG), which provide a consistent network configuration across multiple hosts within a data center. In this lab, we will take a deep dive into the world of VMware Distributed Switches, guiding you step-by-step on how to create and configure Distributed Port Groups.
