dvSwitch Uplink Security Setting - Forged Transmit by default Shows "Accept"

Not sure if I am missing something here so looking community advise.

When we create a new dvSwitch in vCenter 6.0, Security Settings for Forged Transmit always shows "Accept" at Uplink. This option is greyed out too. Screenshot attached.

Could you please share your inputs on this.

Hi Pranay,

In 6.0 this settings is disabled by default for some reason, however you can do it on each port group basis individually.

As per VMware, this is by design. You will not find this option on uplink port group when you login into webclient as this is now on port group basis.

VMware should remove this option even from Vsphere client.

Hope, this will solve your query.
