Create and Configure VMware Virtual Switches

After you have verified that the VMware server on which the Forescout virtual device is installed is configured with the required number of interface connections to the network switch, as described in the preceding section, you can create and configure virtual switches.

Note: There are other ways to deploy a Forescout virtual device: this document describes one alternative. (For example, you do not need a virtual switch for each port as vSwitches are generally trunk ports. The management interface and the response interface could be on one virtual switch with two logical interfaces configured on the vSwitch).
