NAME New-VirtualPortGroup
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet creates a new port group on the specified host.
SYNTAX
New-VirtualPortGroup [-Name] <String> [-VirtualSwitch] <VirtualSwitch> [-Server <VIServer[]>] [-VLanId <Int32>]
[-Confirm] [-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet creates a new port group on the host using the provided parameters.
PARAMETERS
-Name <String>
Specifies a name for the new port group.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is passed to this
parameter, the command runs on the default servers. For more information about default servers, see the
description of Connect-VIServer.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-VirtualSwitch <VirtualSwitch>
Specifies the virtual switch for which you want to create a new port group.
Required? true
Position? 2
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? true
-VLanId <Int32>
Specifies the VLAN ID for ports using this port group. The following values are valid:
0 - specifies that you do not want to associate the port group with a VLAN. 1 to 4094 - specifies a VLAN ID
for the port group. 4095 - specifies that the port group should use trunk mode, which allows the guest
operating system to manage its own VLAN tags.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]
If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false,

modified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false

This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
