FlexNIC d	Auto	3Gb

In cases where the requested bandwidth settings you specified for the four FlexNICs in a single physical port exceed 10Gb, the following rules are applied in this order:

1.	If FlexNICs with a "preferred" or "custom" value for requested bandwidth exceed 10Gb, each FlexNIC
	is allocated bandwidth proportional to its requested bandwidth setting. For example, if four FlexNICs
	on a given port have requested bandwidth settings of 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, and 5Gb, their allocated
	bandwidth is as shown in the table below. In this example, 200Mb remains after dividing the 10Gb
	link. 100Mb is added to the two connections with the least bandwidth.
		Requested		Calculation	Allocation + remainder
FlexNIC a		1Gb		(1/12)*10Gb = 800Mb	900Mb
FlexNIC b		2Gb		(2/12)*10Gb = 1600Mb	1700Mb
FlexNIC c		4Gb		(4/12)*10Gb = 3300Mb	3300Mb
FlexNIC d		5Gb		(5/12)*10Gb = 4100Mb	4100Mb
2.	Every FlexNIC that is linked must be allocated at least 100Mb. For example, if four FlexNICs on a given
	port have requested bandwidth settings of 2Gb, 8Gb, Auto, and Auto, their allocated bandwidth is as
	shown in the table below. In this example, 100Mb must be allocated to the two FlexNICs set to "Auto"
	because no bandwidth would remain after allocating 2Gb and 8Gb to the first two FlexNICs. The two
	FlexNICs set for 2Gb and 8Gb requested bandwidth are allocated a proportion of the 9800Mb
	remaining after the two FlexNICs set to "Auto" receive 100Mb. In this example, there is a remainder of
	100Mb, and that remainder is assigned to the FlexNIC whose allocated bandwidth differs the most
	from its requested bandwidth.
			Requested	Calculation	Allocation + remainder
FlexNIC a			2Gb	(2/10)*9800Mb = 1900Mb	2000Mb
FlexNIC b			8Gb	(8/10)*9800Mb = 7800Mb	7800Mb
FlexNIC c			Auto	100Mb	100Mb
FlexNIC d			Auto	100Mb	100Mb

For FlexFabric configurations, the allocated bandwidth for the assigned FCoE connections takes precedence over the Enet connections in all cases. This implies that if you add FCoE connection bandwidth to a server port that has both Enet and FCoE connections on different PFs, the Enet connection has less bandwidth according to the rules stated above.
