+Create a second <color #ed1c24>Port Group</color> (Egress).

+You will now be able to see both the <color #ed1c24>Port Groups</color> you created.

+This displays the information about your vSwitch, the part of interest here is the vSwitch topology diagram, this displays a graphical

+Remember, here we are looking at a graphical representation of our vSwitch, on the left we see the two <color #ed1c24>Port Groups</color> we just created. On the Right we see the <color #ed1c24>Physical Interface</color> that this vSwitch is connected to (vmnic8).

+\\
+To use this <color #ed1c24>Port Group</color> / <color #ed1c24>vSwitch configuration</color>, you will need to use one of the Port Groups in your Virtual Machine configuration, you can see that [[create_vm|here]].
