Figure 19.2. Adding a Virtual Switch

To add a virtual switch, enter Edit Private mode. Add a virtual switch and at least two interfaces. You
can also add VLANs.

Figure 19.3. Interface Virtualswitch menu

The Interface Virtualswitch menu is located at interface/virtualswitch. If a virtual switch is configured,
the Virtualswitch table appears on the same screen as this menu.
