TABLE 56

AMPP event

Applicable behavior and failures

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

• 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.

• Port-profile state is set as INACTIVE and any attempt to associate the port-

profile to a MAC address may not be allowed.

Associate MAC addresses to
a port-profile

• If the MAC is already associated with a port-profile, the port-profile to MAC

association fails.

• Otherwise, if the port-profile to MAC association succeeds, when the same

MAC is learned on any of the ports, the port-profile which has the MAC
association is applied to the port.

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 profile removes all the

MAC 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 and
notifying the fabric

• All policies associated to 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 port-profile to MAC associations.

Configuring AMPP profiles

The following sections cover configuring, deleting, and monitoring various AMPP-related profiles.

Configuring a new port-profile

To support VM MAC address learning, the default port-profile is employed. The default profile is
different from the other user-defined AMPP profiles:

• The port-profile ID (ppid) of the profile cannot be changed.
• The VLAN sub-profile cannot be modified.
• The QoS sub-profile and security-profile cannot be added.
• The default port-profile cannot be activated.

Brocade recommends that you create a new port-profile to accommodate your requirements. To
configure a new port-profile, perform the following steps in privileged EXEC mode.
