| AllowPromiscuous | Boolean | Specifies whether promiscuous mode is enabled for the corresponding distributed port, port group, or switch. | false | False | |
| AllowPromiscuousInherited | Boolean | Specifies whether the AllowPromiscuous setting is inherited from a parent object, such as a distributed port group or switch. | false | False | |
| Confirm | SwitchParameter | If the value is $true, indicates that the cmdlet asks for confirmation before running. If the value is $false, the cmdlet runs without asking for user confirmation. | false | False | |

Examples
-------------------------- Example 1 --------------------------
Get-VDSwitch "MyVDSwitch" | Get-VDSecurityPolicy | Set-VDSecurityPolicy -MacChanges $true
Retrieves a vSphere distributed switch named "MyVDSwitch" and updates its security policy to allow MAC address changes.
-------------------------- Example 2 --------------------------
Get-VDPortgroup "MyVDPortgroup" | Get-VDSecurityPolicy | Set-VDSecurityPolicy -ForgedTransmitsInherited $true
Retrieves a distributed port group named "MyVDPortgroup" and updates the security policy to inherit the setting value for controlling outbound frames filtering by MAC address from its parent.
