ESXI5-VMNET-000009 - All port groups must be configured with a clear network label

Warning! Audit Deprecated

This audit has been deprecated and will be removed in a future update.

View Next Audit Version

Information

Each port group must be identified with a network label/name. Names serve as a functional descriptor for the port group. Without these descriptions, identifying port groups and functions becomes difficult as the network becomes more complex.

Solution

From the vSphere Client/vCenter, navigate to Home>> Inventory>> Networking. Clearly label all individual port groups with a meaningful name
