Abstract: Disclosed aspects include managing network connectivity of a virtual machine related to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. The shared pool of configurable computing resources has a set of virtual machines connected with an integration bridge. Using the shared pool of configurable computing resources, the virtual machine is associated with the set of virtual machines and set of flow mapping data which identifies the virtual machine is determined. The set of flow mapping data is transmitted and the virtual machine is connected with the integration bridge. In embodiments, the virtual machine is disconnected from the integration bridge and a selection is made to connect the virtual machine based on the set of flow mapping data.

Abstract: In a computer-implemented method, a port profile is associated with a virtual machine that requires a VLAN connection to an external network through an edge port. The port profile includes a VLAN identification associated with the VLAN connection and an edge port identification associated with the edge port. The method further comprises migrating the virtual machine from a first physical server to a second physical server, wherein both the first and second physical servers are in communication with a network switch comprising the edge port. After migrating the virtual machine to the second physical server, the virtual machine is automatically provided with a VLAN connection to the external network in accordance with the port profile associated with the virtual machine. Similarly, a port profile may be associated with a virtual machine as it is created and deployed to a server, wherein the VLAN connection is configured according to the associated port profile.

The port profile includes a VLAN identification associated with the VLAN connection and an edge port identification associated with the edge port. The method further comprises deploying the virtual machine to a target physical server, wherein both the target physical server is in communication with a network switch comprising the edge port. After deploying the virtual machine to the target physical server, the virtual machine is automatically provided with a VLAN connection to the external network in accordance with the port profile associated with the virtual machine.
