A logical port provides a logical connection point for a VIF, a patch connection to a router, or a Layer 2 gateway connection to an external network. Logical ports also expose switching profiles, port statistics counters, and a logical link status.
You can change the inherited switching profile from the logical switch to a different custom switching profile for the child logical port.
Prerequisites
- Verify that a logical port is configured. See Connecting a VM to 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.
