# VZVirtioConsolePortConfiguration

A class that represents the configuration options you can set on a Virtio console port.

```
class VZVirtioConsolePortConfiguration
```

## Overview

A console port is a two-way communication channel between a host [`VZSerialPortAttachment`](/documentation/Virtualization/VZSerialPortAttachment) and a VM console port. A Virtio device can have one or more attached console devices. Optionally, you can set a name for a console port and also configure a console port that the guest can use as the system console.

## Topics
