Data Object
Description
This data object type describes network policies that can be configured for
both virtual switches and port groups. The policy settings on the
port group can inherit policy settings from their containing virtual
switch. These policy settings are inherited if
the settings on the port group are not set. Since every policy
setting on a port group is optional, every individual policy setting
can be inherited.
By contrast, if a host is capable of implementing a policy setting, every
virtual switch has some value assigned to the policy setting. In this
case, although all of the policy settings are optional,
they always have some value either by inheritance or by direct
setting.
Policy settings are organized into policy groups such as SecurityPolicy.
Policy groups are optional since it is possible that a host may not implement
such policies. If a host does not support a policy group, the policy group
is not set on both the virtual switches and the port groups.

Description
|
nicTeaming | HostNicTeamingPolicy |
The network adapter teaming policy. The bridge must be BondBridge
for this property to be valid.
|
offloadPolicy | HostNetOffloadCapabilities | Deprecated.
As of VI API 4.0, the system defaults will be used.
Offload capabilities are used to optimize virtual machine network
performance. When a virtual machine is transmitting on a network,
some operations can be offloaded to either the host or the physical
hardware. This policy indicates what networking related operations
should be offloaded.
All virtual machines using this PortGroup are subject to this
policy. There is no setting for an individual virtual machine
to determine if an operation should be offloaded.
|
security | HostNetworkSecurityPolicy |
The security policy governing ports on this virtual switch.
|
shapingPolicy | HostNetworkTrafficShapingPolicy |
The traffic shaping policy.
