Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
(Optional)
Enables the VSM to automatically delete DVPorts no longer used
by a vNIC or hypervisor port.
switch(config)# [no] svs veth
auto-delete
Step 2
The default setting is enabled.
The no form of this command prevents the VSM from deleting
unused DVPorts.
(Optional)
Enables the VSM to remove all manual configuration on a
vEthernet interface when the system administrator changes a port
profile on the interface.
switch(config)# [no] svs veth
auto-config-purge
Step 3
The default setting is enabled.
The no form of this command prevents the manual configuration
from being deleted in this situation.
Port profiles with ephemeral bindings are purged
regardless of this setting.

Enables the VSM to automatically create a vEthernet interface
when a new port is activated on a host.
switch(config)# [no] svs veth
auto-setup
Step 4
The no form of this command disables the automatic creation of
vEthernet interfaces in this situation.
You can use no form of the command to temporary block
automatic creation of vEthernet interfaces.
