What is "esxcli network nic attachment add" used for in vSphere 7.0+?

  • 772

In vSphere 7.0's doc it has a new CLI command:

  • Command: esxcli network nic attachment add

  • Description: Attach one uplink as a branch to a trunk uplink with specified VLAN ID.

  • Options:

    • --branch | -b

      The name of the NIC to be attached as branch uplink. (required)

    • --trunk | -t

      The name of the NIC to be configured as trunk uplink. (required)

    • --vlan-id | -v

      The vlan ID for the branch uplink. Valid values: integer in the range 1-4094 (required)

    • --help

      Show the help message.

It's confusing to me what it does by attaching one uplink to another uplink. Anyone knows a use case for this?
