Private VLAN, Nexus 1000v and UCS Configuration
Before we start, here are a few things to remember:
Now consider this scenario:
The 4900 switch is a pVLAN aware switch. It has isolated ports on Vlan 210 and promiscuous ports on Vlan 200
The Nexus 5K represents a network or a bunch of switches that are not pVLAN aware
First, we need to make the UCS aware of the pVLAN structure. After defining the vlans, we will need to change the properties of them
Next, you have to dedicate a vNIC to carry the pVLAN traffic in VMWare. Because of the UCS limitations, 1 pVLAN per vNIC only. In this case we add the isolated vlan only, and it is not a native VLAN
Next, add 2 new VLANs to the Nexus 1000v switch , and define the private VLAN properties
Then finally, we just have to add the vmnic to the pVLAN_uplinks port profile
