Pre-Provisioning VEs

G8264CS Application Guide for ENOS 8.4
VEs may be manually added to VM groups in advance of being detected on the
switch ports. By pre‐provisioning the MAC address of VEs that are not yet active,
the switch will be able to later recognize the VE when it becomes active on a switch
port, and immediately assign the proper VM group properties without further
configuration.
Undiscovered VEs are added to or removed from VM groups using the following
configuration commands:
RS 8264CS(config)# [no] virt vmgroup <VM group number> vm <VE MAC address>
For the pre‐provisioning of undiscovered VEs, a MAC address is required. Other
identifying properties, such as IPv4 address or VM name permitted for known
VEs, cannot be used for pre‐provisioning.
Because VM groups are isolated from vNIC groups (see "LACP LAGs" on
Note:
page 241), pre‐provisioned VEs that appear on vNIC ports will not be added to the
specified VM group upon discovery.
