Port profiles
18
• Associated — This state specifies that one or more MAC addresses have been associated with
this port profile within the fabric.
• Applied — This state indicates that the port profile is applied on the profiled port where the
associated MAC address appears. Configuration of two different port profiles can coexist on a
profiled port, but the application of the later port profile fails if there is a conflict.
The port profile states are configured using the Network OS command line interface. For complete
configuration details, refer to the Network OS Command Reference.
AMPP events and behavior
Table 79 describes the AMPP events and the applicable failure behaviors.
For complete information about configuring AMPP, refer to the Network OS Administrator’s Guide
and the Network OS Command Reference.
TABLE 79 AMPP behavior and failure descriptions
AMPP event Applicable behavior and failures
Create port profile If the port profile does not exist, then it is created. If it exists, then it is available for
modification (if it is not yet activated).
Activate port profile If the port profile configuration is not complete, activation fails. Unless the port profile
is activated, it is not applied on any switch port.
If all the dependency validations succeed, the port profile is in the active state and is
ready for association.
De-activate port profile This event removes the applied port profile configuration from all the profiled ports.
De-activation is allowed even if there are MAC addresses associated with the port
profile.
Modify port profile A port profile can be edited only in the pre-activation stage.
The port profile is set to the inactive state if any conflicting attributes are configured
or some dependent configuration is not completed, and any attempt to associate the
port profile to a MAC address may not be allowed.
Associate MAC
addresses to a port
profile If mapping already exists with another port profile, AMPP does not allow a MAC
address to be mapped to multiple port profiles.
If mapping does not exist, the port is configured to allow the MAC address with all the
policies specified in the port profile applied to that MAC address on that port or
switch.
De-associate MAC
addresses from a port
profile If mapping exists, all the policies configured for a specific MAC address are removed
from that port or switch.
Deleting a port profile An in-use error is generated if the port profile is in an activated state. AMPP forces you
to de-activate the profile before deleting.
If the port profile is in an inactive state, then deletion of the port profile removes all
the MAC address associations as well.
Modifying port profile
content when in an
associated state An in-use error is generated if the port profile is already activated.
Moving the VM MAC
address and notifying
the fabric All policies associated with the port profile ID are mapped on the MAC address and
applied to the new port in the fabric.
Unused port profile You must manually remove the MAC address mapping to remove any MAC address
association.
