3.2.3 Associate VLAN pool to the server configuration Template
VLAN association is a critical step in the server template cloning.
It is mandatory that the VLAN ID deployed on the Reference setup matches with the VLAN ID associated to the
newly created template.
Note: Before going to the next step, record the details of the VLAN ID created and mapped to Tagged and
Untagged port, on the Reference setup IOA server facing port. Keep the details handy for the creation of the
VLAN pool.
I. Create VLAN pool in OM Enterprise according to the reference M1000e setup
In this Use case example, let us consider the following:
➢ M640 Sled in Slot 1 and Slot 2 are deployed with VLAN 100 (Tagged) in NIC 1 port 1 mapped to Fabric A1 and
VLAN 200 (Untagged) in NIC 1 port 2 mapped to Fabric A2.
➢ The additional M640 Sled in Slot 3 and Slot 4 requires VLAN 300 (Tagged) in NIC 1 port 1 mapped to Fabric A1
and VLAN 400 (Untagged) in NIC 1 port 2 mapped to Fabric A2.

1. Navigate to Configuration > Networks
2. Select Define and add in the Name, Description, VLAN ID and Network type.
NOTE: The VLAN ID created should be a replica of that present in the reference setup
3. Click on Finish to save the VLAN pool.
