Network sets resource associations

A network set represents a group of tagged Ethernet networks identified by a single name. Network sets are used to simplify server profile configurations and server profile templates. When a connection in a server profile specifies a network set, it can access any of the member networks. Adding or deleting networks from a network set affects profiles that use the network set. One common use for network sets is as a trunk for multiple VLANs to a vSwitch.

In the resource model:

  • A network set can contain zero or more tagged Ethernet networks.

  • A tagged, Ethernet network can be a member of zero or more network sets.

  • A connection in a server profile can specify either a network or a network set.

  • A network set can be member of an uplink set, if only the contained networks are not a duplicate of networks in other network sets associated to the same logical interconnect.

Other configuration rules apply.
