Create Host-Wide Networks
In vSphere, you can create standard networks and distributed networks. Standard networks provide a method
of communication among the virtual machines on a standalone host and consist of standard switches and port
groups. Distributed networks aggregate the networking capabilities of multiple hosts and enable virtual
machines to keep consistent network configuration as they migrate across hosts. Distributed networks consist
of vSphere Distributed Switches, uplink port groups, and port groups.
