The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

System port profiles allow the Cisco Nexus 1000V VEM to place ports in Forwarding port mode even before the communication is established between Cisco Nexus 1000V VSM and VEM. To allow a port to start forwarding traffic as soon as it comes, the network segment that the port uses must also be defined as a system network segment.
The following ports are typically defined with the system port profile and the system network segment:
Host Mgmt virtual ethernet port and uplink carrying management traffic.
Storage virtual ethernet port and uplink carrying storage traffic.
VSM virtual Ethernet ports on VEM.
For a summary of the default settings used with port profiles, see Default Settings.
For maximum system port profiles per host and logical switch, see the Port Profile Configuration Limits.
A system port profile must be of the vEthernet type because it is used for physical ports.
This example shows how to create a system port profile:
switch# configure terminal switch(config)# port-profile type vethernet AccessProf switch(config-port-prof)# no shutdown switch(config-port-prof)# state enabled switch(config-port-prof)# system port-profile switch(config-port-prof)# publish port-profile switch(config-port-prof)# end switch# switch# show port-profile name AccessProf port-profile AccessProf type: Vethernet description: status: enabled max-ports: 32 min-ports: 1 inherit: config attributes: no shutdown evaluated config attributes: no shutdown assigned interfaces: port-group: AccessProf system vlans: capability l3control: no capability iscsi-multipath: no capability vxlan: no capability l3-vn-service: no port-profile role: none port-binding: static switch(config-port-prof)#
