Set default ports in vSwitch to 8

[akkayyakapisett]

Hi,

I need to set the default ports in vswitch to 8. such that number of switches can

be increased. I dont want to set it manully for each switch.

I am intrigued - how many vswitches do you need? I do not of a prameter to change will change the default usable port count to 8 when creating a vswitch - if you have already created the vswitches remember it will require a reboot of the esx server to reset the port count -

If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points by marking the answer correct or helpful

Using powershell:

Set-VirtualSwitch <VirtualSwitch> [[-NumPorts] <Int32>]

tie this with get-virtualswitch and you should be there

(The below has not been tested . . no powershell on this machine)

something like:

get-virtualswitch | set-virtualswitch -NumPorts 8
