81 Dell EMC PowerEdge MX SmartFabric Deployment Guide
When a VLAN-capable server template deploys, SmartFabric creates a class map. For example, class map
CM10, matching all traffic associated with VLAN 10. Then a policy map, for example, PM_VLAN, sets this class
map to the appropriate queue, as in qos-group 2.
A.7 Identity Pools
Identity Pools, or virtual identities, abstract the network identity for Ethernet, FCoE, iSCSI, or FC access.
Virtual identities allow the assignment of a static MAC address or WWPN to a slot. This allows the
replacement of a network device, like a mezzanine card, without causing any interruption to other applications
relying on that hardware address.
Identity Pools are used in conjunction with server templates to automate network onboarding of compute
sleds. To create an Ethernet ID pool, follow these steps:
1. Open the OME-M console.
2. From the navigation menu, click Configuration > Identity Pools.
3. Click Create.
4. In the Create Identity Pool window, complete the following:
a. Enter Ethernet ID pool in the Pool Name box.
b. Optionally, enter a description in the Description box.
c. Click Next.
d. Select the Include ethernet virtual MAC Addresses option.
e. Enter the first address in the Starting MAC Address box.
f. Enter 320 in the Number of Virtual MAC Identities box.
g. Click Finish.
Note: The starting MAC address must be a locally administered unicast address.
