Administrator's Guide v4.1.1 Manual

• The port-profile is not activated or is not associated with the correct MAC address. Refer to
Verifying the port-profile state on page 679.
• The VM kernel MAC addresses are not associated correctly with the port-profile on the respective
switches. Refer to Verifying the VM kernel MAC addresses on page 679.
• The VM and its associated hosts do not share a common storage device. Refer to Verifying a
shared storage device on page 679.
• The port-profile was learned on a nonprofiled VLAN. Refer to Verifying the status of a learned
profiled MAC address on page 679.
• A conflicting port-profile is applied to the same interface. Refer to Verifying that port profiles do not
conflict on page 680.
• The Ethernet Name Server is not functioning correctly. Refer to Verifying the Ethernet Name Server
on page 680.
• An ESX host has an incompatible network adapter or driver installed. Refer to Verifying an ESX
host on page 680.
Verifying the port-profile configuration
A valid port-profile must exist on the target switch. It must contain a basic switchport and VLAN
configuration.
1. In the privileged EXEC mode, enter the show running-config port-profile command to verify that
the port-profile configuration exists on the target switch, and that it contains a basic switchport and
VLAN configuration.
switch# show running-config port-profile
port-profile default
vlan-profile
switchport
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk allowed vlan all
switchport trunk native-vlan 1
!
!
port-profile pp1
vlan-profile
!
!
port-profile pp2
vlan-profile
!
!
2. If the port-profile configuration does not exist or is missing the required switchport or VLAN
configuration, create the port-profile as described in AMPP port-profiles on page 329.
Verifying the VM MAC address
For the correct functioning of AMPP, the MAC address for the VM and its associated hosts must
appear in the MAC address table.
1. Enter the show mac-address-table command to verify that the VM MAC addresses appear in the
switch MAC address table.
switch# show mac-address-table
VlanId Mac-address Type State Ports
1 0000.0010.0001 Static Inactive Te 4/0/3
1 0000.0010.0002 Static Inactive Te 4/0/3
Total MAC addresses : 2
2. If a VM MAC address is not present, contact your switch support provider for further investigation
and provide this data.
