In SFS, switch ports connected to servers are associated with networks using server interface profiles. VxRail node-connected ports are automatically recognized by SFS and identified as such in the Import from Fabric feature.

To add the VxRail node-connected ports to the VxRail networks created in the previous section, perform the following steps.

1. In the SFS UI, select the Server Interface tab.
2. Under Server Interface Profile, click +IMPORT FROM FABRIC. The Discovered Server Interface page displays.
3. For VxRail node interfaces, the Server Type column indicates VxRail, as shown.

   

   Note: In this example, there are three VxRail nodes connected to the leaf switches, resulting in six discovered VxRail interfaces. Other connected devices that support LLDP will also appear in the list. If other devices are connected, it may help to sort the list by clicking the Server Type column heading.
   
   
4. Check the boxes next to all VxRail-connected interfaces and click +ADD TO SERVER PROFILE.
5. In the Server Profile dialog box:
   1. Select New Server Profile.
   2. Next to Server Profile ID, enter a profile name, such as vxrail-profile.
   3. Leave Bonding Type set to AutoDetect. The page displays as shown:

      

6. Click ASSOCIATE. The new profile, named vxrail-profile in this example, is associated with the VxRail interfaces, as shown.

   

7. Check the boxes next to all VxRail interfaces and click +ADD NETWORKS.
8. In the Add Server Interface Networks window, do the following:
   1. Next to Tagged Networks, the following networks are selected in this example:
      1. extmgmt (VLAN-1811)
      2. vmotion (VLAN-1812)
      3. vsan (VLAN-1813)
      4. vmnet_A (VLAN-1814) – optional guest network
      5. vmnet_B (VLAN-1815) – optional guest network
      6. Client_Control_Network (VLAN-3939) – automatically created VxRail node discovery network
   2. Next to Untagged Network, select Client_Management_Network (VLAN-4091). This network is automatically created and is used to connect to the VxRail Deployment Wizard.
   3. Click ADD to display the Discovered Server Interface page as shown in the figure below.

      

9. Click the box next to all VxRail interfaces and click CREATE to apply the configuration.
10. In the Importing Server Interface Profiles window, a success message is displayed for each interface as shown:

    

11. Click OK.

The VxRail interfaces appear in the Server Interface Profile list. When an interface is selected, the associated leaf switch, port, and networks are displayed to the right of the interface profile list. The networks for the first VxRail interface selected are outlined in red in the lower right corner of the following figure.

Ensure that the VxRail interfaces are in the correct networks.

Optionally, you may also verify the network to interface configuration at the CLI of the leaf switches by running the show virtual-network command.
