# VZSerialPortConfiguration

The common configuration traits for serial port requests.

```
class VZSerialPortConfiguration
```

## Overview

Don’t create a [`VZSerialPortConfiguration`](/documentation/Virtualization/VZSerialPortConfiguration) object directly. Instead, instantiate a concrete instance of one of its subclasses, such as [`VZVirtioConsoleDeviceConfiguration`](/documentation/Virtualization/VZVirtioConsoleDeviceConfiguration). Use the [`attachment`](/documentation/Virtualization/VZSerialPortConfiguration/attachment) property of this class to configure the medium through which serial communication happens.

## Topics

### Configuring the Attachment Point

[`attachment`](/documentation/Virtualization/VZSerialPortConfiguration/attachment)

The object that defines how the configuration of the virtual machine’s serial port interfaces.
