Information About Port Profiles
A port profile is a mechanism for simplifying the configuration of interfaces. You can configure a port profile and then assign it to multiple interfaces to give them all the same configuration. Changes to the port profile are propagated to the configuration of any interface that is assigned to it.
You can configure Ethernet or vEthernet port profiles to which you can assign Ethernet or vEthernet interfaces, respectively.
 |
Note We do not recommend that you override port profile configurations by making changes to the assigned interface configurations. Only make configuration changes to interfaces to quickly test a change or to disable a port.
|
 |
Note System-message logging levels for the Port Profiles feature must meet or exceed Cisco DCNM requirements. During device discovery, Cisco DCNM detects inadequate logging levels and raises them to the minimum requirements. Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches that run Cisco NX-OS Release 4.0 are an exception. For Cisco NX-OS Release 4.0, prior to device discovery, use the command-line interface to configure logging levels to meet or exceed Cisco DCNM requirements. For more information, see the Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Cisco DCNM for LAN, Release 5.x .

Port Profile States
A port profile can be in one of two states: enabled or disabled.
When disabled, a port profile is not applied to assigned ports. In addition, if the port profile is exporting policies to a VMware port group, the port group is not created on the vCenter Server.
When enabled, a port profile is applied to assigned ports. If the port profile is configured to inherit policies from a VMware port group, the port group is created on the vCenter Server.
Port Profile Inheritance
You can assign port profiles to other port profiles. The configuration attributes of the parent port profile are copied over to and stored in the child port profile. You can override inherited attributes by configuring those attributes explicitly in the child port profile.
You can change settings directly on the new port profile to override the inherited settings.
You can also explicitly remove port profile inheritance, so that a port profile returns to the default settings, except where there has been a direct configuration.
Four levels of inheritance are supported. The same port profile can be inherited by any number of port profiles.
System Port Profiles
A system port profile is a port profile that establishes and protects the vCenter Server connectivity. A system port-profile has system VLANs (that is, control and packet VLANs) configured.
Port Profiles and Port Groups
A port group is a representation of a port profile on the vCenter server. Every port group on the vCenter server is associated with a port profile on the Cisco NX-OS. Network administrators configure port profiles, and then server administrators can use the corresponding port groups on the vCenter server to assign ports to port profiles.
Port Profile Characteristics
You can configure a port profile to have the following characteristics:
•
Description
•
VMware settings
•
Port channels
•
Static pinning
•
Switchport mode
•
VLANs
•
DHCP snooping

•
MAC or IP ACLs
For more information, see the documentation for your platform.
Port Profiles and vPC Host Mode
You can configure port profiles with the virtual port channel host mode (vPC-HM) feature. vPC-HM allows member ports in a port channel to connect to multiple upstream switches. With vPC-HM, ports are grouped into subgroups (0-31) for traffic separation.
As shown in Figure 10-1, for traffic separation using vPC-HM, member ports 1 and 2 are assigned to subgroup ID 0 and member ports 3 and 4 are assigned to subgroup ID 1.
Figure 10-1 Using vPC-HM to Connect a Port Channel to Multiple Upstream Switches
If the upstream switches do not support port channels, you can use MAC pinning, which allows you to assign each Ethernet port member to a particular port channel subgroup. For more information, see the "Port Profiles and MAC Pinning" section.
 |
Note Do not configure vPC-HM on the Cisco NX-OS if the upstream switches have vPC enabled. If vPC-HM is configured on the Cisco NX-OS and vPC is configured on the upstream switches, the connection can be interrupted or disabled.
|
To configure a port profile for vPC-HM, see the "Configuring a Port Channel" section.
For information about how subgroups are created and interfaces assigned, see the following sections:
•
Subgroup Creation Using CDP or Manual Method
•
Interface Assignment Using Static Pinning
Subgroup Creation Using CDP or Manual Method
If Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is enabled on the upstream switches, then the subgroups are automatically created using CDP information. If CDP is not enabled on the upstream switches, then you must manually create the subgroup on the interface.
You configure this setting as part of the port profile configuration. For more information, see the "Configuring a Port Channel" section.
Interface Assignment Using Static Pinning
Static pinning is a feature that allows you to assign (or pin) a vEthernet interface, control VLAN, or packet VLAN to a specific port channel subgroup. With static pinning, traffic from a vEthernet interface, control VLAN, or packet VLAN is forwarded only through the member ports in the specified subgroup.
To pin a vEthernet interface, control VLAN, or packet VLAN to a specific port channel subgroup, see the "Configuring Static Pinning on a Control or Packet VLAN" section.
You can also pin vEthernet interfaces to subgroups in interface configuration mode. For more information, see the "Configuring Static Pinning on a vEthernet Interface" section.
Port Profiles and MAC Pinning
MAC pinning is a feature that allows you to assign Ethernet port members to specific port channel subgroups. You can use MAC pinning if one or more upstream switches do not support port channels. Figure 10-2 shows each member port that is assigned to a specific port channel subgroup using MAC pinning.
Figure 10-2 Using MAC Pinning to Connect a Port Channel to Multiple Upstream Switches
Port Profiles and Layer 3 Control
Layer 3 control, or IP connectivity, is supported between the Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM) and Virtual Ethernet Module (VEM) for control and packet traffic and is required for the Cisco Nexus 1000V domain. With Layer 3 control, a VSM can be Layer 3 accessible and control hosts that reside in a separate Layer 2 network. All hosts controlled by a VSM, however, must still reside in the same Layer 2 network. Because a VSM cannot control a host that is outside of the Layer 2 network it controls, the host on which it resides must be controlled by another VSM.
To implement Layer 3 control, you must make the following configurations:
•
Configure the VSM domain transport mode as Layer 3.
For more information, see the documentation and release notes for your platform and software release.
•
Configure a port profile using the "Configuring a Port Profile for Layer 3 Control" section.
•
Create an VMware kernel NIC interface on each host and apply the Layer 3 control port profile to it.
For more information, see your VMware documentation.
Figure 10-3 shows an example of Layer 3 control where VSM0 controls VEM_0_1, VEM_0_1, in turn, hosts VSM1 and VSM2, and VSM1 and VSM2 control VEMs in other Layer 2 networks.
Figure 10-3 Example of Layer 3 Control IP Connectivity
Port Profiles and iSCSI Multipath
The iSCSI multipath feature sets up multiple routes between a server and its storage devices for maintaining a constant connection and balancing the traffic load. The multipathing software handles all input and output requests and passes them through on the best possible path. Traffic from host servers is transported to shared storage using the iSCSI protocol that packages SCSI commands into iSCSI packets and transmits them on the Ethernet network.
If a path or any component along the path fails, the server selects another of the available paths.

Configuring a Port Channel
You can configure a port channel for vPC-HM in a port profile.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Create a port profile or determine which existing port profile that you want to use.
You need to know whether Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is configured in the upstream switches. If you are using CDP with the default CDP timer (60 seconds), links that advertise that they are in service and then out of service in quick succession can take up to 60 seconds to be returned to service.
You need to configure vPC-HM when port channels connect to multiple upstream switches. If vPC-HM is not configured, the VMs behind the Cisco NX-OS receive duplicate packets from the network for unknown unicasts, multicast floods, and broadcasts.
Do not configure vPC-HM on the Cisco NX-OS if the upstream switches have vPC enabled. If vPC-HM is configured on the Cisco NX-OS and vPC is configured on the upstream switches, connectivity issues can occur.
DETAILED STEPS
Step 1
From the Feature Selector pane, choose Interfaces > Port Profile.
Devices that support this feature appear in the Summary pane.
Step 2
From the Summary pane, choose the desired port profile.
Step 3

Step 5
Check Channel Group Auto and in the Protocol Mode drop-down list, choose Active, Passive, or On.
On is the default channel mode, and all port channels that are not running the Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) need to be in this mode.
Active specifies that when you enable LACP, the interface is in an active negotiating state in which the port initiates negotiations with other ports by sending LACP packets.
Passive specifies that when you enable LACP, the interface is in a passive negotiation state, in which the port responds to LACP packets that it receives but does not initiate LACP negotiation.
Step 6
(Optional) Do one of the following:
•
If CDP is configured on the upstream switches, in the SubGroup drop-down list, choose CDP.
•
If CDP is not configured on the upstream switches, in the SubGroup drop-down list, choose Manual.
