DESCRIPTION

An NSX Logical Switch provides L2 connectivity to VMs attached to it.

A Logical Switch is 'bound' to a Transport Zone, and only hosts that are

members of the Transport Zone are able to host VMs connected to a Logical

Switch that is bound to it.



Connect-NsxLogicalSwitch accepts either a VM or NIC and attaches it to the

specified LogicalSwitch.
