Port assignment in logical switches

Initially, all ports belong to the default logical switch. When you create additional logical switches, they
are empty and you must assign ports to those logical switches.

As you assign ports to a logical switch, the ports are moved from the default logical switch to the newly
created logical switch. A given port can be in only one logical switch.

In the following figure, the default logical switch initially has 10 ports, labeled P0 through P9. After
logical switches are created, the ports are assigned to specific logical switches. Note that ports 0, 1, 7,
and 8 have not been assigned to a logical switch and so remain assigned to the default logical switch.
