Managing Host Spanning Transport Networks Host spanning transport networks are Lab Manager resources that enable Host Spanning and consist of a vNetwork Distributed Switch and a LAN or VLAN. Host spanning transport networks require a VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus license and ESX/ESXi 4.0 hosts. If your environment meets these requirements, you can create a vNetwork Distributed Switch, which is a type of vSphere virtual switch that spans multiple ESX/ESXi hosts. For more information, see "Host Spanning" on page 59.
