Logical switch overview

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 Figure
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.
