Cisco Nexus 1000V Port Profile Configuration Guide, Release 4.0(4)SV1(3)

Step 1 

config t

Example:

n1000v# config t

n1000v(config)#

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2 

port-profile [type {ethernet | vethernet}] name

Example:

n1000v(config)# port-profile AccessProf

n1000v(config-port-prof)#

Enters port profile configuration mode for the named port profile. If the port profile does not already exist, it is created using the following characteristics:

•name—The port profile name can be up to 80 characters and must be unique for each port profile on the Cisco Nexus 1000V.

•type—(Optional) The port profile type can be Ethernet or vEthernet. Once configured, the type cannot be changed. The default is the vEthernet type.

Defining a port profile type as Ethernet allows the port profile to be used for physical (Ethernet) ports. In the vCenter Server, the corresponding port group can be selected and assigned to physical ports (PNICs).

Note If a port profile is configured as an Ethernet type, then it cannot be used to configure VMware virtual ports.

Step 3 

switchport mode private-vlan {host | promiscuous}

Example:

n1000v(config-port-prof)# switchport mode private-vlan promiscuous

n1000v(config-port-prof)#

Designates the port profile for use as a private VLAN and defines the ports as follows:

•promiscuous—Ports that belong to the primary VLAN and communicate with the Layer 3 gateway. Promiscuous ports can communicate with any interface in the PVLAN domain, including those associated with secondary VLANs.

•host—Ports that belong to the secondary VLAN as one of the following:

–Community PVLAN host port

–Isolated PVLAN host port

Step 4 

switchport private-vlan host-association primary-vlan secondary-vlans

Example:

n1000v(config-port-prof)# switchport private-vlan host-association 3 300 301 302

n1000v(config-port-prof)#

Assigns the primary and secondary VLAN IDs to the port profile and saves this association in the running configuration.

•primary-vlan—Specifies a primary VLAN ID. You can specify only one primary VLAN ID.

•secondary-vlans—Specifies the secondary VLAN IDs. You can specify more than one secondary VLAN ID.

Step 5 

switchport private-vlan mapping primary_vlan
[add | remove] secondary_vlans

Example:

n1000v(config-port-prof)# switchport private-vlan mapping 3 add 300 301 302

n1000v(config-port-prof)#

Maps the primary VLAN ID to the secondary VLAN IDs for the port profile.

Step 6 

show port-profile [brief | expand-interface | usage] [name profile-name]

Example:

n1000v(config-port-prof)# show port-profile name AccessProf

(Optional) Displays the configuration for verification.

Step 7 

copy running-config startup-config

Example:

n1000v(config-port-prof)# copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Saves the running configuration persistently through reboots and restarts by copying it to the startup configuration.
