■ vmxnet
■ Enhanced vmxnet
■ vmxnet 3
Can power settings be modified for a powered on VM?

Which adapters can support TSO
vmxnet2 and vmxnet3
How many USB controllers can be monitored by the USB Arbitrator?
15
What are the three components that make up USB passthrough
USB Arbitrator USB Controller USB Devices
What are the conditions where USB passthrough is supported?
■ All connected USB passthrough devices must be configured for vMotion.
■ If migrated VMs with USB passthrough devices are suspended or powered off, then these devices will not be reconnected when the VM is resumed or powered on again.
■ Resuming Linux guests with USB passthrough devices may result in different mount points for the USB device.
■ If DPM turns off a host with USB devices presented to VMs, these connections are lost.
■ Migrated VMs with USB passthrough devices are possible via communication over the ESXi hosts’ management networks. This is not possible if one host uses IPv4 and the other host uses IPv6, since the same IP version must be used.
