What is cvnVethPortProfileUsed?

This names the port profile, a bundle of settings like switchport mode, channel-group configuration, and security policy, currently applied to a virtual ethernet interface. An admin cares because this is the single field to check to know which policy template governs a given VM's network behavior, without digging through each individual setting. For example, a VM experiencing unexpected switchport behavior can be diagnosed by checking this field to confirm which port profile, and thus which policy set, was actually applied.
