Hello again...
I'm kicking the tires on esxcfg-vswitch and am finding that it might be limited in what it can do.
1. Is there a way to configure other properties/options such as Security, Traffic Shaping, and NIC via esxcfg-vswitch or other esxcfg cmd? If not, can these properties be added to /etc/vmware/esx.conf and what's the risk to this approach?
2. When a vswitch is created within the VIC, the switch name is automatically created as vSwitch(x). I noticed that using the -a option that you can specify any name for the vswitch label. Is there an issue with using a custom label? Are there limitations in terms of length and/or characters used?
3. I noticed that when you add a NIC after the vswitch was created, then the NIC is configured in standby mode. Can this be changed without going into the VIC? I see an entry in esx.conf called /net/vswitch/child[0000]/teamPolicy/team = "lb_srcid" but am not sure if that's it.
Any advice is appreciated.
