Definition of vSwitch
A virtual switch is a software program – a logical switching fabric that emulates a switch as a layer-2 network device. A virtual switch ensures the same functions as a regular switch, with the exception of some advanced functionalities. Namely, unlike physical switches, a virtual switch:
Does not learn the MAC addresses of transit traffic from the external network.
Does not participate in Spanning Tree protocols.
Cannot create a network loop for redundant network connection.
VMware’s virtual switches are called vSwitches. vSwitches are used for ensuring connections between virtual machines as well as connecting virtual and physical networks. A vSwitch uses a physical network adapter (also called NIC - Network Interface Controller) of the ESXi host for connection to the physical network. You might want to create a separate network with a vSwitch and physical NIC for performance and/or security reasons in the following cases:
Connecting storage, such as NAS or SAN, to ESXi hosts.
vMotion network for live migration of virtual machines between ESXi hosts.
Fault Tolerance logging network.
Virtual machines connect to a network much in the same way physical ones do. The difference is that the VMs use virtual network adapters and virtual switches to establish connections with physical networks. If you have used VMs running on VMware Workstation, you may be familiar with three default virtual networks. Each of them uses a different virtual switch:
VMnet0 Bridged network – allows connection of a VM’s virtual network adapter to the same network as the physical host’s network adapter.
VMnet1 Host Only network – allows connection to a host only, by using a different subnet.
VMnet8 NAT network – uses a separate subnet behind the NAT, and allows connection of the VM’s virtual adapter through the NAT to the same network as the physical host’s adapter.
