Add a port group to the specified virtual<br />
switch.<br />
Not supported. Add an upl<strong>in</strong>k adapter to a distributed<br />
virtual port (DVP).<br />

--active-upl<strong>in</strong>ks=vmnic1,vmnic6,vm<strong>in</strong>ic7<br />
Update the list of active upl<strong>in</strong>ks <strong>for</strong> the<br />
port group. This command fails silently<br />
if the upl<strong>in</strong>k adapter does not exist.<br />
network vswitch standard list Check whether a virtual switch exists.<br />
Pr<strong>in</strong>t 1 if the switch exists and pr<strong>in</strong>t 0<br />
otherwise. Use the virtual switch name,<br />
e.g. vSwitch0 or vSwitch1, to specify the<br />
virtual switch.<br />
network vswitch standard portgroup list Check whether the specified port group<br />
exists or not.<br />

Remove a port group from the virtual<br />
switch. Runn<strong>in</strong>g the command with this<br />
option fails if the port group is <strong>in</strong> use, <strong>for</strong><br />
example, by a virtual mach<strong>in</strong>e or a<br />
