In order to proceed, we require access to vSphere Web Client. This client can be run on any modern Windows desktop operating system or server operating system.

We must be logged in to vSphere Web Client with a user account in the administrators group.
There must be at least one distributed virtual switch configured in the datacenter in order to create a PVLAN.
