vim.dvs.HostMember.PnicBacking
==============================
  The `DistributedVirtualSwitchHostMemberPnicBacking`_ data object specifies a set of physical NICs to use for a proxy switch. When you add a host to a distributed virtual switch ( `DistributedVirtualSwitchHostMemberConfigSpec`_ . `host`_ ), the host creates a proxy switch that will use the pNICs as uplinks.

    pnicSpec ([`vim.dvs.HostMember.PnicSpec`_], optional):

       List of physical NIC specifications. Each entry identifies a pNIC to the proxy switch and optionally specifies uplink portgroup and port connections for the pNIC.
