This table displays the physical ports on the selected Host Ethernet Adapter (HEA), the logical port that the logical partition can use to access each physical port, and the virtual LANs that each logical port can access. When you activate a logical partition using a partition profile, the managed system configures logical ports for the logical partition based upon the specifications in the partition profile.
This table contains the following information:
- Physical Port ID
- This column displays the ID number of each physical port on the selected HEA.
- Port Group ID
- This column displays the ID number of the port group to which the physical port belongs. Each HEA has two port groups, and each port group can have up to 16 logical ports.
- Logical Port ID
- This column displays the logical port ID number that is associated with this physical port. The combination of this number and the port group ID uniquely identifies each logical port for the selected HEA.
- Allowed VLAN IDs
- This column lists the ID numbers of the virtual LANs on this managed system that are connected with this logical port. The logical partition can use the logical port to communicate over these virtual LANs.
