Step 2
In port profile configuration mode, generate the VSM status.
switch(config-if)#
show running-config port-profile ms-nlb
port-profile type vethernet ms-nlb
vmware port-group
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 59

Checking the Status on a VEM
If the NLB unicast mode configuration does not function, check the status of the Virtual Ethernet Module
(VEM). Check the following:
•
Confirm that the MS-NLB vEths are disabled.
•
Confirm that the MS-NLB shared-MAC (starting with 02:BF) is not listed in the Layer 2 (L2) MAC
table.
Step 1
Generate the VEM status.
~
# vemcmd
show port auto-smac-learning
LTL VSM Port Auto Static MAC Learning
49 Veth4 DISABLED
50 Veth5 DISABLED
51 Veth6 DISABLED
Step 2
Generate the Layer 2 MAC address table for VLAN 59.

Configuring MS NLB for Multiple VM NICs in the Same Subnet
When MS NLB VMs have more than one port on the same subnet, a request is flooded, which causes
both ports to receive it. The server cannot manage this situation.
As a workaround for this situation, enable Unknown Unicast Flood Blocking (UUFB).
