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 4

Server /chassis/adapter # scope

Enters the host Ethernet interface command mode for

 

host-eth-if {eth0 eth1 name}

the specified vNIC.

Step 5

Server /chassis/adapter/host-eth-if # set

Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) or

 

mtu mtu-value

packet size that the vNIC accepts. Valid MTU values

 

 

are 1500 to 9000 bytes; the default is 1500.

Step 6

Server /chassis/adapter/host-eth-if # set

Specifies the uplink port associated with this vNIC. All

 

uplink {0 1}

traffic for this vNIC goes through this uplink port.

Step 7

Server /chassis/adapter/host-eth-if # set

Specifies a MAC address for the vNIC in the form

 

mac-addr mac-addr

hh:hh:hh:hh:hh:hh or hhhh:hhhh:hhhh.

Step 8

Server /chassis/adapter/host-eth-if # set

Specifies the class of service (CoS) value to be marked

 

cos cos-value

on received packets unless the vNIC is configured to

 

 

trust host CoS. Valid CoS values are 0 to 6; the default

 

 

is 0. Higher values indicate more important traffic.
