Ethernet Network Group Policy

An Ethernet Network Group Policy defines the set of allowed VLANs and the native VLAN for vNICs on FI-attached servers. It is applied per vNIC via a LAN Connectivity Policy and maps to the vethernet configuration on the Fabric Interconnect. This policy applies to FI-Attached and UnifiedEdgeServer target platforms only; use Ethernet Network Policy for Standalone servers.

Example-1: The example below demonstrates a policy allowing a discrete set of production VLANs with VLAN 10 as the native VLAN for FI-attached server vNICs.

compute:
intersight:
organizations:
- name: MyOrganization
policies:
ethernet_network_group:
- name: prod-vlans
description: Production VLANs for FI-attached vNICs
allowed_vlans: "10,20,30-50"
native_vlan: 10
tags:
- key: env
value: prod

Example-2: The example below demonstrates a dedicated storage VLAN group for iSCSI or NFS traffic.

compute:
intersight:
organizations:
- name: MyOrganization
policies:
ethernet_network_group:
- name: storage-vlans
description: Storage network VLANs
allowed_vlans: "100,200"
native_vlan: 100
