Final answer:
Physical NICs are not assigned at the virtual switch level; they are assigned at the host level.
Step-by-step explanation:
False. Physical NICs (Network Interface Cards) are assigned at the host level, not at the virtual switch level. Each physical NIC is dedicated to a specific host machine and is not shared among multiple ports or port groups. Ports and port groups defined for a particular virtual switch are independent and do not share the same hardware.
