VCS product groups
The standalone Network OS switches and the VCS fabric are treated as a single Layer 2 (L2) switch
for both static and dynamic product groups. The product group membership cannot contain fabric
members. The standalone Network OS VDX switches are shown in
Table 78 .
Static product group
The standalone VDX switch and the VCS fabric can be added as a static product group member.
The fabric members, however, are not included in the available product panel.
Dynamic product group
The standalone VDX switch and the VCS fabric are included when the dynamic product group is
defined. The criteria search and filter the fabrics based on user-defined search criteria. The search
criteria do not consider fabric members.
Port profiles
A port profile is a collection of network policies supported by the switch. By configuring port profiles
on the Network OS VDX switch (refer to
Table 78 for a list of supported VDX switches), the virtual
machine (VM) that is configured on the virtual network interface card (vNIC) can migrate to any
other port on that switch, but still retain the same network policies.
The default port profile, shown in Figure 291 , contains the entire configuration needed for a VM to
obtain access to the LAN and SAN.
NOTE
FCoE sub-profiles can be applied on default port profiles only and are supported on Network OS
version 2.1 and later. You can view the FCoE profile association on Network Advisor version 11.3.0
and later.
