Msvm_InternalEthernetPort class

  • Article

Represents an internal Ethernet port (network adapter). This type of Ethernet port gives virtual machines (VMs) access to the virtualization server running the networking software. The internal network adapters allow the VMs network traffic to be routed or filtered before leaving the physical system.

The following syntax is simplified Managed Object Format (MOF) code, and it includes all of the inherited properties.
