Import a stored configuration file to create a new vSphere Distributed Switch or to restore a switch that has been deleted earlier.
The configuration file contains the networking settings of the switch. By using it you can also replicate the switch in other virtual environments.
Note: You can use a saved configuration file to replicate the switch instance, its host associations, and policies. You cannot replicate the connection of physical NICs to uplink ports or ports on link aggregation groups.
Procedure
Results
A new distributed switch is created with settings from the configuration file. If you have included distributed port group information in the configuration file, the port groups are also created.
