Allow Promiscuous Mode, Forged Transmits, and MAC Address Changes properties are not appearing for some VLAN IDs within Aria Operations.

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

• Allow Promiscuous Mode, Forged Transmits, and MAC Address Changes properties are not present under Properties -> Configuration -> Policies -> Security.                                                                                                                                       
• Network Configuration Dashboard has few vLAN IDs where the Allow Promiscuous Mode, Forged Transmits, and MAC Address Changes properties values are null.

Environment

Aria Operations 8.x

Cause

If the properties are not enabled in the policy assigned to the vLAN objects in question, then those properties will not be visible under the Metrics section for the vLAN IDs

Resolution

Edit the assigned policy for the objects and Activate the required properties from the policies.  Once the required properties are activated in the policy assigned to the VLAN, they should appear under the Metrics tab and the values will be present in the Network Configuration Dashboard for Port Groups.
