Determine use case for a vNetwork Standard Switch

• Determine use case for a vNetwork Standard Switch

• There are a few use cases for using a vNetwork Standard Switch in your environemnt
• The biggest one has to be licensing.  To utilize a vNetwork Distributed Switch (vDS) you must be an Enterprise Plus customer or you have to use the vSS.
• Regardless of licensing it’s good to place a redundant management network for each host on their own vNetwork Standard Switch.  This will ensure your management network is available in case you have a physical NIC failure
• If you only have one host that needs access to a separate network that can’t be provided through an existing vNetwork Distributed Switch then you would use a vNetwork Standard Switch
