1.Define the server ports.

RS G8124(config)# system server-ports port 1-5

2.Configure the external trunk to be used with vNIC group 2.

RS G8124(config)# portchannel 1 port 13,14

RS G8124(config)# portchannel 1 enable

3.Enable the vNIC feature on the switch.

RS G8124 # vnic enable

4.Configure the virtual pipes for the vNICs attached to each server port:

RS G8124(config)# vnic

port 1

index 1

(Select vNIC 1 on the port)

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

enable

 

(Enable the vNIC pipe)

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

bandwidth 60

(Allow 60% egress bandwidth)

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

exit

 

(Select vNIC 2 on the port)

RS G8124(config)# vnic

port 1

index 2

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

enable

 

(Enable the vNIC pipe)

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

bandwidth 40

(Allow 40% egress bandwidth)

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

exit

 

 

RS G8124(config)# vnic

port 2

index 1

(Select vNIC 1 on the port)

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

enable

 

(Enable the vNIC pipe)

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

exit

 

(Select vNIC 2 on the port)

RS G8124(config)# vnic

port 2

index 2

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

enable

 

(Enable the vNIC pipe)

RS G8124(vnic_config)#

exit

 

 

 

 

 

 

As a configuration shortcut, vNICs do not have to be explicitly enabled in this step. When a vNIC is added to the vNIC group (in the next step), the switch will prompt you to confirm automatically enabling the vNIC if it is not yet enabled (shown for 3.2).

Note – vNICs are not supported simultaneously on the same switch ports as VMready, or on the same switch as DCBX or FCoE.
