vSwitch and Portgroup Security settings

$

0

It is possible to edit the security settings for "Promiscuous Mode", "MAC address changes" and "Forged Transmits" in two places:

 

On the vSwitch and on each individual portgroup on a vSwitch.

 

Can the settings on a portgroup override the vSwitch settings?

 

So for example if the vSwitch has "Promiscuous Mode : Reject", what happens if I have a portgroup on the same vSwitch with "Promiscuous Mode : Accept"? Would a VM on that portgroup be able to receive all packets on the VLAN, or only those originating within the vSwitch?

 

In short, what is the hierarchical relationship between the security settings on a vSwitch and its portgroups?
