Configuring Virtual Machine Networking on a vSphere Distributed Switch
Connect virtual machines to a vSphere distributed switch either by configuring an individual virtual
machine NIC or migrating groups of virtual machines from the vSphere distributed switch itself.
Connect virtual machines to vSphere distributed switches by connecting their associated virtual network
adapters to distributed port groups. You can do this either for an individual virtual machine by modifying
the virtual machine’s network adapter configuration, or for a group of virtual machines by migrating virtual
machines from an existing virtual network to a vSphere distributed switch.
