How Distributed Virtual Switch connect to physical Network

if I understand Standard virtual switch is per HOST ESX, SVS is connected to the physical Nic of the ESX.

DVS, can span multiple ESX servers, in this case does DVS connects to all physical Nic of all ESX servers? any snapshot on this will be very helpful.


Thank you

Actually I was trying to understand The Virtualization application that spans all ESXi hosts and presents the Dvs so that we can configure it and view it from Vcenter..

I believe Vcenter is just a tool we use to configure and view the virtual infrastructure, but there must be an application that ties up the Dvs to all ESXi hosts, in other words where is the DVs physically located.
