Unp Application Example - OmniSwitch os6900 Network Configuration Manual

Configuring Universal Network Profiles

UNP Application Example

The Universal Network Profile (UNP) feature provides the ability to dynamically assign network devices
(physical or virtual) into the VLAN domain or service domain based on profile attributes. This section
demonstrates this ability by providing a sample UNP configuration that applies specific profiles to vari-
ous network traffic. Device traffic is assigned and forwarded on the VLAN ID associated with the UNP.
UNP VLAN Classification
The illustration below shows the sample UNP configuration described in this section. In this configura-
tion,
•
Pre-defined UNPs on the OmniSwitch 6900 are associated with a profile name, VLAN ID, and option-
ally any classification rules and/or a QoS policy list.
•
The RADIUS server is configured with UNP profile names associated with device MAC addresses.
•
UNP functionality is enabled on the OmniSwitch 6900 ports that are connected to network devices that
will generate traffic to which UNP profiles are applied.

As soon as the network devices connected to the UNP ports start sending traffic, the switch applies the
UNP port and profile configuration to determine which UNP to apply to the traffic. Once the appropriate
UNP is identified, the device and the port to which the device is connected are dynamically assigned to the
VLAN associated with the UNP.
Because the UNP port and profile configuration is applied to each device connected to or through a UNP
port, it is possible for that port to belong to more than one UNP VLAN. For example, if on the server the
virtual machine "VM-1" is associated with UNP1, and "VM-2" with "UNP2" and "VM-3" with "UNP3",
then the port to which the server is connected is dynamically assigned to VLANs 10, 20, and 30.
