Managing Network Adapters

Managing vNICs

This example rebuilds the persistent binding table for a vHBA:

Server# scope chassis

Server /chassis # scope adapter 4

Server /chassis/adapter # scope host-fc-if fc1

Server /chassis/adapter/host-fc-if # scope perbi

Server /chassis/adapter/host-fc-if/perbi # rebuild

Server /chassis/adapter/host-fc-if/perbi #

Managing vNICs

Guidelines for Managing vNICs

When managing vNICs, consider the following guidelines and restrictions:

•The Cisco UCS P81E Virtual Interface Card and Cisco UCS VIC1225 Virtual Interface Card provide two default vNICs (eth0 and eth1). You can create up to 16 additional vNICs on these adapter cards.

Note If Network Interface Virtualization (NIV) mode is enabled for the adapter, you must assign a channel number to a vNIC when you create it.

•After making configuration changes, you must reboot the host for settings to take effect.

Viewing vNIC Properties

Procedure

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	Server# scope chassis	Enters the chassis command mode.
Step 2	Server /chassis # scope adapter index	Enters the command mode for the adapter card at the
		PCI slot number specified by index.
		Note	The server must be powered on before you
			can view or change adapter settings.
Step 3	Server /chassis/adapter # show	Displays properties of a single vNIC, if specified, or
	host-eth-if [eth0 eth1 name] [detail]	all vNICs.

This example displays the brief properties of all vNICs and the detailed properties of eth0:

Server# scope		chassis
Server /chassis # scope adapter 1
Server /chassis/adapter # show host-eth-if				CoS VLAN PXE Boot
Name	MTU	Uplink Port MAC Address
--------	----	----------- -----------------		--- ---- --------
eth0	1500	0	00:22:BD:D6:5C:33	0	NONE Enabled
eth1	1500	1	00:22:BD:D6:5C:34	0	NONE Enabled
