Managing vSphere distributed switches

After discussing the different aspects of a standard vSwitch, we will now move on to discus distributed virtual switches. The following is a list of available cmdlets for managing the different aspects of distributed virtual switches:

• Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter
• Add-VDSwitchVMHost
• Export-VDPortGroup
• Export-VDSwitch
• Get-VDBlockedPolicy
• Get-VDPort
• Get-VDPortgroup
• Get-VDPortgroupOverridePolicy
• Get-VDSecurityPolicy
• Get-VDSwitch
• Get-VDSwitchPrivateVlan
• Get-VDTrafficShapingPolicy
• Get-VDUplinkLacpPolicy
• Get-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy
• New-VDPortgroup
• New-VDSwitch
• New-VDSwitchPrivateVlan
• Remove-VDPortGroup
• Remove-VDSwitch
• Remove-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter
• Remove-VDSwitchPrivateVlan
• Remove-VDSwitchVMHost
• Set-VDBlockedPolicy
• Set-VDPort
• Set-VDPortgroup
• Set-VDPortgroupOverridePolicy
• Set-VDSecurityPolicy
• Set-VDSwitch
• Set-VDTrafficShapingPolicy
• Set-VDUplinkLacpPolicy
• Set-VDUplinkTeamingPolicy
• Set-VDVlanConfiguration

We will start by creating a new dvSwitch using the New-VDSwitch cmdlet.
