5.Add ports, trunks, and virtual pipes to their vNIC groups.

RS G8124(config)# vnic vnicgroup 1

 

(Select vNIC group)

RS G8124(vnic group config)# vlan

1000

(Specify the VLAN)

RS G8124(vnic group config)# member 1.1

(Add vNIC pipes to the group)

RS G8124(vnic group config)# member 2.1

 

RS G8124(vnic group config)# port

(Enable vNIC failover for the group)

RS G8124(vnic group config)# failover

RS G8124(vnic group config)# enable

(Enable the vNIC group)

RS G8124(vnic group config)# exit

 

 

RS G8124(config)# vnic vnicgroup 2

 

 

RS G8124(vnic group config)# vlan

Once VLAN 1000 and 1774 are configured for vNIC groups, they will not be available for configuration in the regular VLAN menus (/cfg/l2/vlan).

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