hi All,
Need help to deploy vm in Distributed virtual switch. Whenever i will deploy default it takes Standard port. what options we need

networks:

  • vlan: {{ vlan }}
    type: “static”
    device_type: vmxnet3
    ip: “{{ ip_addr }}”
    gateway: x.x.x.x

Which module are you using ?
Because your syntaxe looks like a mix of vmware_guest and vsphere_guest

vmware_guest

If I refer to the vmware_guest doc (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/vmware_guest_module.html), there is no network and network_type parameters.

It is using the name parameter :
networks :

  • name: name of the portgroup

Warning : if you have several portgroups with the same name, it will fail :
