A vsw resource can be either in a <Content> section as part of a domain description, or it can appear on its own in an <Envelope> section. It must have <gprop:GenericProperty> tags with the following keys:

• service_name - Name to be assigned to the virtual switch.

• dev-path - Path of the network device to be associated with this virtual switch

Optionally, the vsw resource can also have the following properties:

• <rasd:Address> - Assigns a MAC address to the virtual switch

• pvid - Port virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID) indicates the VLAN of which the virtual network needs to be a member, in untagged mode.

• vid - Virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier (ID) indicates the VLAN of which a virtual network and virtual switch need to be a member, in tagged mode.

• mode - sc for SunCluster heartbeat support.
