Msvm_VirtualSwitch class

Represents a virtual switch. Each switch has many different ports to which network adapters can be attached. The switch itself is not highly configurable and acts mostly as a placeholder.

The following syntax is simplified Managed Object Format (MOF) code, and it includes all of the inherited properties.
