 short_description: Gathers facts about an ESXi host's vswitch configurations
 description:
 - This module can be used to gather facts about an ESXi host's vswitch configurations when ESXi hostname or Cluster name is given.
+- The vSphere Client shows the value for the number of ports as elastic from vSphere 5.5 and above.
+- Other tools like esxcli might show the number of ports as 1536 or 5632.
+- See U(https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2064511) for more details.
