Standard changes must be associated with the ESXi host’s physical NICs as uplinks to speak with whatever remains of the system. Standard switches provide the network connectivity: between virtual machines within the … More Lab 8: Standard Switch

Creating Folders in VMware vCenter Server You can use folders to organize and manage multiple virtual machines in the library. When virtual machines are in a folder, you can manage them on the folder tab and perform batch power operations. When you add a virtual machine to a folder, it remains an independent entity, but … More Lab 7: Creating Folders in VMware vCenter Server
