Ethernet Network Policy

An Ethernet Network Policy configures VLAN settings for vNICs on Standalone servers. It defines whether the interface operates in Access mode (single VLAN) or Trunk mode (multiple VLANs), sets the native VLAN, and optionally enables QinQ tunneling. This policy applies to Standalone target platforms only; use Ethernet Network Group Policy for FI-attached servers.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates an access port policy assigning a single VLAN for a Standalone server management interface.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          ethernet_network:
            - name: access-vlan100
              description: Access port on VLAN 100 for standalone servers
              vlan_mode: ACCESS
              default_vlan: 100
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: The example below demonstrates a trunk policy carrying multiple VLANs with VLAN 1 as the native VLAN, suitable for hypervisor uplinks on Standalone servers.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          ethernet_network:
            - name: trunk-uplink
              description: Trunk allowing VLANs 100-200 with native VLAN 1
              vlan_mode: TRUNK
              default_vlan: 1
              allowed_vlans: "100-200"
