# VZVirtioSocketDeviceConfiguration

A configuration object that requests the creation of a socket device to communicate with the guest system.

## Declaration

```swift
class VZVirtioSocketDeviceConfiguration
```

## Overview

Overview Use a VZVirtioSocketDeviceConfiguration object to implement port-based communication between the guest operating system and the host computer. When you add this object to the socketDevices property of your VZVirtualMachineConfiguration, the virtual machine provides a corresponding VZVirtioSocketDevice object to use to configure the ports. Add only one VZVirtioSocketDeviceConfiguration to your virtual machine’s configuration.
