NAME Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter
SYNOPSIS
This cmdlet adds host physical network adapters to a vSphere distributed switch.
SYNTAX
Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter [-VMHostPhysicalNic] <PhysicalNic[]> [-DistributedSwitch] <DistributedSwitch>
[-Server <VIServer[]>] [-VirtualNicPortgroup <VDPortgroup[]>] [-VMHostVirtualNic <HostVirtualNic[]>] [-Confirm]
[-WhatIf] [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
This cmdlet adds host physical network adapters to a vSphere distributed switch.
PARAMETERS
-DistributedSwitch <DistributedSwitch>
Specifies the vSphere distributed switch to which you want to add the host physical network adapter.
Required? true
Position? 2
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters? false
-Server <VIServer[]>
Specifies the vCenter Server systems on which you want to run the cmdlet. If no value is given 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? false
-VirtualNicPortgroup <VDPortgroup[]>
Specifies the port groups to which to attach the host virtual network adapters. Accepts either one port group,
or the same number of port groups as the number of virtual network adapters specified. If one port group is
specified, all adapters are attached to that port group. If the same number of port groups as the number of
virtual network adapters are specified, the first adapter is attached to the first port group, the second
adapter - to the second port group, and so on.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-VMHostPhysicalNic <PhysicalNic[]>
Specifies the host physical network adapters that you want to add or migrate to the vSphere distributed switch.
Required? true
Position? 1
Default value None
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? true
-VMHostVirtualNic <HostVirtualNic[]>
Specifies the host virtual network adapters to be migrated along with the physical adapter, so that their
connectivity is preserved.
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,
the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]
Indicates that the cmdlet is run only to display the changes that would be made and actually no objects are
modified.
Required? false
Position? named
Default value False
Accept pipeline input? False
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see
about_CommonParameters (https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=113216).

NOTES
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
$vmhostNetworkAdapter = Get-VMHost "MyVMHost" | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -Physical -Name vmnic2
Get-VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostPhysicalNic $vmhostNetworkAdapter
Retrieves the specified physical network adapter from the specified host and adds it to the specified vSphere
distributed switch.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
$myVMHost = Get-VMHost "MyVMHost"
$physicalNic = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $myVMHost -Name "vmnic0"
$virtualNic = Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter -VMHost $myVMHost -Name "vmk0"
Get-VDSwitch -Name "MyVDSwitch" | Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter -VMHostPhysicalNic $physicalNic
-VMHostVirtualNic $virtualNic -VirtualNicPortgroup 'MyVDPortGroup'
Migrates a host physical network adapter and a virtual network adapter to a vSphere distributed switch.
