Tinterface-config-vm-instance
Mobility provides a dataplane bridge for external network connectivity for Virtual Machines (VMs).
VM interfaces are layer 2 interfaces on Mobility bridge that define which IP address is associated
with each VLAN ID the service platform is connected to and enables remote service platform
administration. Each custom VM can have up to a maximum of two physical VM interfaces. Each
VM interface can be mapped to one of sixteen VMIF ports on the dataplane bridge. This mapping
determines the destination for service platform routing.
By default, VM interfaces are internally connected to the dataplane bridge via VMIF1. VMIF1 is an
untagged port providing access to VLAN 1 to support the capability to connect the VM interfaces to
any of the VMIF ports. This provides the flexibility to move a VM interface onto different VLANs as
well as configure specific firewall and QOS rules.
Use the (config-profile-
associated with the service platform profile.
To switch to this mode, use the following commands:
The following example uses the config-profile-default-nx45xx instance to configure a VM interface:
nx4500-5CFA2B(config-profile-default-nx45xx)#interface vmif ?
<1-8> Interface index
nx4500-5CFA2B(config-profile-default-nx45xx)#i
nx4500-5CFA2B(config-profile-default-nx45xx)#interface vmif 2
nx4500-5CFA2B(config-profile-default-nx45xx-if-vmif2)#
nx4500-5CFA2B(config-profile-default-nx45xx-if-vmif2)#?
