Mobility provides a dataplane bridge for external network connectivity for Virtual Machines (VMs).
VM Interfaces define which IP address is associated with each VLAN ID the service platform is
connected to and enables remote service platform administration. Each custom VM can have up to
a maximum of two VM interfaces. Each VM interface can be mapped to one of sixteen VMIF ports
on the dataplane bridge. This mapping determines the destination for service platform routing.
By default, VM interfaces are internally connected to the dataplane bridge via VMIF1. VMIF1 is an
untagged port providing access to VLAN 1 to support the capability to connect the VM interfaces to
any of the VMIF ports. This provides the flexibility to move a VM interface onto different VLANs as
well as configure specific firewall and QOS rules.
NOTE
VM interfaces are only supported for NX4500, NX6500 and NX9000 series service platforms.
To define or override a VM interfaces configuration on a profile:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices from the Configuration tab.
The Device Configuration screen displays a list of managed devices or peer controllers, service
platforms or Access Points.
3. Select a target device (by double-clicking it) from amongst those displayed within the Device
Configuration screen.
Devices can also be selected directly from the Device Browser in the lower, left-hand, side of
the UI.
4. Select Profile Overrides from the Device menu to expand it into sub menu options.
