Edit the network topology
Perform this task to edit the network topology.
Restrictions and guidelines
Deploying VMs by using a VM template in the topology is the same as deploying VMs by using a VM template on the VM template list.
By default, vswitch0 belongs to a management network. To view the topology of vswitch0, change its network type to service network.
