A distributed virtual switch's advantages:
1. Centralized management
2. Network settings and policies follow the VM during live migrations.
3. Consistency of configurations across all hosts
These are some of the benefits of distributed switch:
Centralized management of vSwitch configuration for multiple hosts in a cluster,
which simplifies administration.
Migration of networking statistics and policies with virtual machines
during a live VM migration.
Configuration consistency across all the hosts
that are part of the distributed switch.

Regards,
A distributed virtual switch (DVS) provides centralized management and control of virtual networking across multiple hosts within a virtualized environment. One of its key capabilities is to ensure configuration consistency across the hosts, allowing administrators to define network configurations (e.g., VLANs, port settings) centrally and apply them consistently to all hosts connected to the DVS. This helps streamline network management and ensures uniformity in network configurations across the virtual infrastructure.

To address this, VMware allows you to use the distributed virtual switch, a logical switch that can be configured on vCenter Server once for several hosts. This means that you don’t have to configure standard virtual switches on each ESXi host manually.
