Precisely. >If that's what he needs to do, multiple VSWITCHes as described won't give him >what he wants, because you can't connect the 2nd and subsequent VSWITCH to the >first VSWITCH w/o >additional OSA triplets (essentially the OSA has to act as >the "first switch").

Ok. So, the only way how to achieve it, is to use additional Linux VM used as bridge or router. I thought that. Thank you.
