This relates to the physical adapters. For example, if VLAN IDs 10, 20 and 30 are available, then VMM will not allow a virtual machine with a VLAN ID of 40 to be deployed to a Logical Switch with that uplink port profile. Virtual Port Profiles control the characteristics of a virtual machine's network adapter. When these two items are combined on a Logical Switch, it controls the details given to a virtual machine's network adapter. For example, if a VM is requesting to be connected to a specific network, then VMM knows the VLAN ID, if appropriate, and the subnet of that network in the required location. This allows VMM to ensure that the network adapter has the correct options configured. Creating and assigning Logi
