<p>
|

The network access of direct attached virtual machines can be
|
||||
managed by the hardware switch to which the physical interface
|
||||
of the host machine is connected to.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The interface can have additional parameters as shown below,
|
||||
if the switch is conforming to the IEEE 802.1Qbg standard.
|
||||
The parameters of the virtualport element are documented in more detail
|
||||
in the IEEE 802.1Qbg standard. The values are network specific and
|
||||
should be provided by the network administrator. In 802.1Qbg terms,
|
||||
the Virtual Station Interface (VSI) represents the virtual interface
|
||||
of a virtual machine.

<dd>The VSI Manager ID identifies the database containing the VSI type

and instance definitions. This is an integer value and the

value 0 is reserved.</dd>

<dd>The VSI Type ID identifies a VSI type characterizing the network

access. VSI types are typically managed by network administrator.

This is an integer value.

<dd>The VSI Instance ID Identifier is generated when a VSI instance

This is a globally unique identifier.
