More than one Ethernet Network Goup Policy on the same vNIC template

[Riaan van Niekerk]

Service Profiles in UMM (whether managed on UCSM or Central) support configure multiple VLAN groups on a VNIC template. We separate around half-dozen (ESXi) management VLANs into one VLAN group, and our 600 of ACI VLANs (in blocks of 100) in another VLAN group, to simplify the management of these two types of ranges.

In IMM vNIC Templates, I only see the ability to configure one Ethernet Network Group Policy (IMM terminology, ENGP being the equivalent to UMM VLAN Groups).

Is this possible with IMM Server Profiles using vNIC Templates?
If not, is this a planned (or maybe even scheduled/slotted) feature?

Hi Riaan, 

As of today, there is 1:1 mapping between Ethernet Network Group Policy and a vNIC or vNIC template. We have to add all the VLANs in a single "Ethernet Network Group Policy" which we want on the vNIC's. 

I don't see this being requested before. 

Kindly submit a feedback under Intersight GUI > In the Top navigation bar next to the user icon, click on "circle with a question mark" > click on "I have a Suggestion". This goes directly to the BU.

Thank you, Sandeep. I have logged an "I Have A Suggestion". I am accepting your response as a solution since it states the current situation. If this feature is ever implemented, I will update the thread.

This feature was released earlier in the week, New Feature Releases: Nov 5:

• Added the ability to add multiple Ethernet Network Group Policies (ENGPs) on vNICs, uplink ports, and uplink port channels.
