Cisco Nexus 5000 Series - Port VSAN Membership; Assigning Static Port VSAN Membership

Port VSAN Membership
Port VSAN membership on the switch is assigned on a port-by-port basis. By default each port belongs to
the default VSAN. You can assign VSAN membership to ports using one of two methods:
• Statically—Assigning VSANs to ports.
• Dynamically—Assigning VSANs based on the device WWN. This method is referred to as dynamic
port VSAN membership (DPVM).Cisco Nexus devices do not support DPVM.
VSAN trunking ports have an associated list of VSANs that are part of an allowed list.
