Limitations of port sharing

Note the following limitations of port sharing:

• Only GbE ports in the default switch can be shared by VE_Ports in different logical switches. A

GbE port in a non-default switch can only be used by VE_Ports in that same logical switch.

• The GbE ports in other logical switches or ports on the base switch cannot be shared by ports

in different logical switches.

• Tunnels created with a mix of dedicated ports (ports within the same logical switch) and

shared ports (ports in the default switch) are not supported.
