Configure Overriding Networking Policies on Port Level

To apply different policies for distributed ports, you configure the per-port overriding of the policies that are set at the port group level. You can also enable the reset of any configuration that is set on per-port level when a distributed port disconnects from a virtual machine.

   1. Select a distributed switch and click the Networks tab.
   2. Click Distributed Port Groups.
2. Right-click the distributed port group and select Edit Settings.
3. Select the Advanced page.
