IVMVirtualNetwork interface
The IVMVirtualNetwork interface defines a virtual network. IVMVirtualNetwork objects are returned from IVMVirtualServer methods IVMVirtualServer::CreateVirtualNetwork and IVMVirtualServer::FindVirtualNetwork. You can also retrieve an IVMVirtualNetwork object from the IVMVirtualNetworkCollection object returned from the IVMVirtualServer::VirtualNetworks property.
When to use
A virtual network consists of a virtual switch, which performs all internal routing, and several connections that are "plugged in" to the virtual switch. These connections can be a real external host connection, a virtual Ethernet NIC or a "virtual network server". Currently, the only "virtual network server" is the DHCP virtual network server.

The IVMVirtualNetwork interface inherits from the IDispatch interface. IVMVirtualNetwork also has these types of members:
