Defining a Server Profile with NICs Connections to a single VLAN, via CLI
The following command(s) can be copied and pasted into an SSH based CLI session with Virtual Connect
# Create and Assign Server Profile App-1
add profile App-1 –nodefaultenetconn
add enet-connection App-1 pxe=Enabled
add enet-connection App-1 pxe=Disabled
set enet-connection App-1 1 Network=PROD-A
set enet-connection App-1 2 Network=PROD-A
assign profile App-1 enc0:1
Note: the graphic below is an example of a how a Windows or Linux server might be configured for a
specific VLAN. In this case both NICs are configured for network PROD-A, which is mapped to VLAN 101.
Any frames received by Virtual Connect for this server will have their VLAN tags intact, Virtual Connect will
remove the tags and present the frames to the server NICs, and therefore, the VC port is acting as an
ACCESS port.
