In this important section we are going to a study about a region where we a support group.
That support group and their standards which are the least rich.
So what is support group and what is the significance of support group.
Now in this section will understand a hundred percent about the port group and this kind kindness which
next section will go and perform the lab task.
So what is happening.
I'll give you an example suppose you have one VM virtual machine and it has the winning note.
Likewise we have other VM say we aim to.
This is being one and we aim to.
This has Winnick now what you can do that these particular interfaces virtual Nick you can connect with
support group.
Again what is the port group support group having common properties port group having common policies.
So suppose if these volumes are related to each other each year.
So you can go and set common properties common active buttes inside the port group and whenever you're
associating different different Williams to this particular port group they are part of same port group.
Okay.
Now one interesting thing suppose if you know ACA application centric in plain sight.
Cisco ACA insight that we have concept of endpoint Group EPG so suppose if you create a VM domain and
then if you go and create an endpoint group this endpoint group inside ACA is equal to port group as
well.
Now the concept of endpoint group is also same.
You may have common EPG So for example EPG related to web or H R cells etc. Now those common EPD lack
means here part of support group are the port group is equivalent to endpoint group.
So VM airport group and then Cisco has evaluated their endpoint group.
Both are actually the same common activity common properties you can.
Common properties interfaces are interfaces that you are going to connect with the common properties
the those are nothing by default.
Group right.
So what's the definition here.
Let's see the definition of vs each connectivity policy which is insular defined how the virtual device
handles traffic that belongs to a group of VM in case of we where we is where this policy is called
a support group.
So you have one group where you're collecting all the ports.
And this group having the policy that will be applicable to all the interfaces or all the ports connected
inside this group like that like silica.
I will log into the device and I will show you how we can select out these select support group with
respect to this particular image that is here.
You can see that I have.
This is the receipt I will log in and I'll show you all the properties in six short seven weeks will
Klein and you'll find the displays were different but these policies are the properties will be the
same.
We'll see that in the upcoming recording.
So they are belonging to say for example we land 1 0 5.
Then you have the security policy traffic shipping and the timing.
If I go back in the slide let me go back in the slide here you can see that.
Let me go back one slide back.
So here you can see that your will switch having security policy traffic shipping fail over policies
and the villain tag attack.
So we'll see that we'll see that that you have we import port group port group belonging to 100.
Now we can will go and connect all the things we'll see.
So at the moment just think common properties interfaces grouped inside a group are common interfaces
and grouped together with a common policies and properties support group.
I'll show you I log into the VM I'll go to the network adapter and that network adapter I'll connect
with the port group this network adapter is nothing but what you will interface with Nick so we have
already discussed that once he you have the Stander switch at that time we have issues or issues we
have that support if we have same type of port group we have to go and create those port group in all
the host so host one who has to host we suppose we have a chart here as the described message we have
to create area everywhere.
That's the problem means you can think like Cisco access which so all these we as Kansas Cities are
working as a Cisco access age but again all the access issues are going to be connected with the distributed
switch.
And that's the term that you see later on the courts they use case of distributors which I have complete
set of slides for that to release some insight that makes up for the operational efficiency to support
the new features you need distributed virtual switch and inside data also you can go and act as support
groups support groups belonging to distributed seats.
We'll see.
On a lag in this action.
Mainly we're going to focus inside the scanner switch.
So how I can go and act the standard switch I'll go and I'll show you all these steps.
Now there are multiple ways to create these standards which first of all will go to the host and see
that do you have.
Do we have a spinning switch already.
If not then we'll go and act like this is one of the ways.
But we have multiple ways.
I'll show you different ways to go and add the network so you can right click to the host.
You can add the network once you go inside that you'll find that what you want to add VM kernel physical
network adapter or virtual machine put glue for a standard search now VM kernel clearly you'll see here
that it is it belongs to every motion.
So we use fear we motion I use crazy NF as if see if that is the fault tolerance and virtual fan.
If you're creating the VM Colonel I'll show you all these ports interfaces port group and suites are
these candidates in the upcoming recording.
Then you may have the physical network adapter if you escalate for adapter handles the network traffic
to the other host on the network then you have the Iskandar switch and the switch and then we have the
group for the standards which will select so suppose if you select the third option then you'll get
the option either you want the existing scan dosage or you have the new standards it's you can go and
add the adapters so you can click on use adapter click plus sign then you will get the option for the
physical network adapter you can use an adapter to air up there once you have one or two adapter you
can use this up and down arrow you can see the different networking parameters are the properties of
the adapters all these things I will show you.
And finally you can see that this network having a level network level and the will and at the moment
it's intact with Lindsay.
So this way we can create the standard switch and I suppose if you want to go and edit something I'll
go and log in and I'll show you that you can edit the VCR.
Also obviously you select the VCR you have the pencil button here for the edit you can go any date so
you can go and change the properties.
For example if I go and select is asking about what's the MQ What's the security policy what's the traffic
shipping gaming and fill over all those things.
We can go and select one by one but it's still just for knowledge purposes we are expecting that OK
we have the single switch option or we switch option but later in the production generally we're using
a distributed virtual switch.
So this is also an option we have that we can go and check liquids in the next section in the lab section.
I'll go there and I'll show you that you can go and select the physical adapter as well.
And this is the way I am going to show you.
So I will go to their dashboard first from there from the dashboard.
I will go to the Yes side once you go there you have this networking option so you can go and check
the virtual switch VM kernel adapters physical adapters CPA configuration was there inside the physical
adapter here you can see have the AG network options you can go and check all these things I will show
you one by one all these operations.
So what is the takeaway from this particular section is the takeaway is that what is Port grouping should
understand what is Port group irrespective of what usage are a distributed virtual set the significant
support group is there means you're going to connect the interfaces are we nick interfaces having common
active properties with a same type of port group.
Once you have the port group that's the first thing that is ready the port group saying think we are
going to Australia or we have a strategy so far and we have seen the slides is how to create the standard
switch and then I can feel the slides you can see that how you can go and edit the physical adapter
as well to all these things when you see this in a lab then we'll understand more than these slides
but still these lights are just for your reference that you can go and you can do any type of change.
So for example if I understand that what's the theory behind all these port groups and the standard
switch and the distributed virtual sets then it's actually really easy and straightforward that we can
use the key and inside the group we can go and do all sorts of changes correct.
So here it is showing that how we can go and do the load balancing in between the physical adapters
they say for example active active or active on standby etc..
So let's stop here and in the next section I'm going to show you the port group and this kind of switch
and I will see that how we can indeed create even if you want to continue to also.
