Adding virtualized servers: configuring static vEthernet interfaces on
the Cisco Nexus 5548UP switches
About this task
In this example procedure, the server is connected to port Eth1/7 on both Cisco Nexus 5548UP switches.
Before you begin
Make sure the host has been zoned, masked, and allocated an appropriate sized boot LUN. This
example assumes all VLANs are trunked where necessary.
Procedure
1
To enable virtual network tag (VNTag) for the port that connects to the server, on Cisco Nexus
5548UP switches A and B, type the following commands in configuration mode:
interface Ethernet 1/7
switchport mode vntag
2
Create the VLANs (if needed):
vlan 301
name PROD-VLAN-301
3
Create the vEthernet port-profile. (This step is optional, most port-profiles should already be
created.)
port-profile type vethernet PROD-VLAN-301
switchport access vlan 301
switchport mode access
state enabled
