So as you can see here, I'm logged into the vSphere client in my home lab, and I'm looking at my distributed switch that I've already created, and it already has a port group. And so for this exercise, let's assume that we've got a bunch of virtual machines created that are connected to a vSphere standard switch currently, and we want to move them over to this port group on a vSphere distributed switch. And so in order to facilitate that, I'm going to go to one of my hosts here, and I'm going to go to Configure. And you can see on this host, we do have a vSphere Standard switch. And the vSphere Standard Switch has a port group called VM Network.
