The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is a device that offers both SAN and LAN capabilities. To help manage access to the
same device by a SAN administrator and a LAN administrator, you can use role-based access to define the actions
that either administrator can perform.

Checkpoint and Rollback
Currently the only Cisco Nexus device that implements configuration checkpoint and rollback is the Cisco Nexus
7000 Series.

Port Profiles: Concept and Configuration
The port profiles concept applies to the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series and the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series.
A port profile is a configuration construct that simplifies the concurrent configuration of multiple switch interfaces. Port
profiles allow repetitive commands to be typed only once and automatically applied to all interfaces that are members
of the same profile.
profiles allow repetitive commands to be typed only once and automatically applied to all interfaces that are members
of the same profile.
Port profiles can be of different kinds, and the two that are of interest for the purpose of this solution guide are type
Ethernet
for regular interfaces and type interface-vlan for switch virtual interfaces (SVIs):
port-profile [type <ethernet | interface-vlan>] <name>
The port-profile-to-interface association is configured as follows:
interface etha/b
inherit port-profile <name>
If the interface a/b is configured with switch-port commands and if a conflict arises, the interface-specific
configurations take precedence over the port profile configuration.

Nexus1000V-Specific Commands
On the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series, port profiles allow some configurations that are very specific to virtualized server
environments. These configurations include:
environments. These configurations include:
●
Specifying the string name for the VMware port group associated with the port profile (vmware port-group
command)
command)
●
Specifying whether a port profile is used for virtual Ethernet interfaces or for uplink purposes through the
server network interface cards (NICs) (capability uplink command)
server network interface cards (NICs) (capability uplink command)
●
Pushing the configuration to VMware vCenter (state enable command)
●
Defining the VLANs that are used for communication between the Virtual Supervisor Module and Virtual
Ethernet Module (system vlans command)
Ethernet Module (system vlans command)
An example of uplink port profile configuration is:
n1000v(config)# port-profile SysProfile
n1000v(config-port-prof)# capability uplink
n1000v(config-port-prof)# vmware port-group
n1000v(config-port-prof)# switchport mode trunk
n1000v(config-port-prof)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 101-110
n1000v(config-port-prof)# no shutdown
n1000v(config-port-prof)# system vlan 103,104
n1000v(config-port-prof)# state enabled
