ESXI5-VMNET-000003 - All virtual switches must have a clear network label
Warning! Audit Deprecated
This audit has been deprecated and will be removed in a future update.
View Next Audit VersionInformation
Network labels must identify each port group with a name. These names are important because they serve as a functional descriptor for the port group. Without these descriptions, identifying port groups and their functions becomes difficult as the network becomes more complex.Solution
From the vSphere Client/vCenter, navigate to Home>> Inventory>> Networking. Clearly label/rename all port groups with a meaningful nameSee Also
