You can associate a custom switching profile to a logical switch so that the profile applies to all the ports on the switch.
When custom switching profiles are attached to a logical switch they override existing default switching profiles. The custom switching profile is inherited by children logical switch ports.
Note: If you have associated a custom switching profile with a logical switch, but want to retain the default switching profile for one of the child logical switch port, then you must make a copy of the default switching profile and associate it with the specific logical switch port.
Prerequisites
- Verify that a logical switch is configured. See Create a Logical Switch in Manager Mode.
- Verify that a custom switching profile is configured. See Switching Profiles for Logical Switches and Logical Ports.
-
Verify that Manager mode is selected in the NSX Manager user interface. See NSX Manager. If you do not see the Policy and Manager mode buttons, see Configure User Interface Settings.
Procedure
What to do next
If you do not want to use the inherited switching profile from a logical switch, you can apply a custom switching profile to the child logical switch port. See Associate a Custom Profile with a Logical Port in Manager Mode.
