Member Enumeration Documentation

enum vmware::vcenter::vm::hardware::EthernetTypes::BackingType::Values

C# enum whose values can be used in switch statements.

Ordinals have no semantic meaning (your code should not rely on them).

Enumerator:

_UNKNOWN	Special enumeration constant which is used to represent constants that do not exist in the current enum binding. For example if a client sends a new constant to an older server, the server code will see this special constant, because its enum binding lacks the new constant.
STANDARD_PORTGROUP	vSphere standard portgroup network backing.
HOST_DEVICE	Legacy host device network backing. Imported VMs may have virtual Ethernet adapters with this type of backing, but this type of backing cannot be used to create or to update a virtual Ethernet adapter.
DISTRIBUTED_PORTGROUP	Distributed virtual switch backing.
OPAQUE_NETWORK	Opaque network backing.
