Add a Network Pool That Is Backed by vSphere Port Groups
Add a network pool that is backed by port groups to register vSphere port groups for Cloud Director to use.
Unlike other types of network pools, a network pool that is backed by port groups does not require a vNetwork
distributed switch.
C The port groups must be isolated at the layer 2 level from all other port groups. The port groups

must be physically isolated or must be isolated by using VLAN tags. Failure to properly isolate the port groups
can cause a disruption on the network.
This is the only type of network pool that works with Cisco Nexus 1000V virtual switches.
Prerequisites
One or more port groups are available in vSphere. The port groups must be available on each ESX/ESXi host
in the cluster.
