Hello,

I had been using the vsphere\_guest module where I could specify a VDS network type to attach a NIC:

```auto
vm_nic:
      nic1:
        type: vmxnet3
        network: VM Network
        network_type: standard
      nic2:
        type: vmxnet3
        network: dvSwitch Network
<b> network_type: dvs
</b>

```

I am now trying to use vmware\_guest but I can’t see how to specify that a network is of type DVS and I can only see it working with standard VSS portgroups.

Can anyone share a pointer? Thanks!
