Hi there, I am solved this problem just now.

There is a module “vmware.vmware.vm\_portgroup\_info”

I used this module just like above  
Little explanation:

1. **vm\_names** can be a list too.
2. In the debug section i used …**inventory\_hostname[0].** , because there can be multiple nic in that vm, i want to get only first nic.

```auto
- name: gather network info about vm
  vm_portgroup_info:
    vm_names: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
   register: netInfo

- debug:
     msg: " {{ netInfo.vm_portgroup_info.[inventory_hostname][0].portgroup_name }}"

```
