Import a vSphere Distributed Port Group Configuration

Use import to create a distributed port group from a configuration file.

If an existing port group has the same name as the imported port group, the new port group name has a number appended in parentheses. The settings from the imported configuration are applied to the new port group and the settings of the original port group remain unchanged.

Procedure

1. On the vSphere Client Home page, click Networking and navigate to the distributed switch.
2. Right-click the distributed switch and select Distributed Port Group > Import Distributed Port Group.
3. Browse to the location of your saved configuration file and click Next.
4. Review the import settings before completing the import.
5. Click Finish.
