Unused port groups have not been removed
Description
Discussion Text
Port groups define how virtual machine connections are made through the virtual switch. Port groups may be configured with bandwidth limitations and VLAN tagging policies for each member port. Multiple ports may be aggregated under port groups to provide a local point for virtual machines to connect to a network. The maximum number of port groups that may be configured on a virtual switch is 512. Each port group is identified by a network label and a VLAN ID. As with any physical switch, all unused virtual switch port groups will be removed if not in use. Physical switches place these unused ports in unused VLANs and shutdown the port. For the ESX Server, these port groups must be removed to ensure that they are not used by mistake.
