New VLAN on a distributed switch

[storage_enginee]

Hello Everyone,

Can anybody shed some light on this: does a new VLAN automatically propagate to vSphere distributed switch after the VLAN is configured on the upstream network switches and on the UCS FIs? Would be hard to imagine that this is the case, and one still needs to configure a new distributed port group, and tag that new VLAN there.

Appreciate your input.

No, upstream switch config does not get inherited by the vDS.

I will have to configure a new distributed port group and tag that new VLAN when I am configuring it, won't I?

Yes
