In Vsphere 6.0, what is the primary difference between a vSS switch and a vDS switch?

• vSS supports host only networking. vDS switches share network resources across multiple hosts
• vSS supports only 2 hosts. vDS must be used for 3 or more hosts.
• vSS switches and vDS switches are essentially the same
• vSS switches are standard and vDS are virtual 

 

EXPLANATION

vSS (standard switch) works within one ESXi host only. vDS enables more features and allows the switches to be used by multiple hosts.
