2. Enable the vNIC feature on the switch.
3. Configure the virtual pipes for the vNICs attached to each internal port:
4. Add ports, trunks, and virtual pipes to their vNIC groups.

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
INT3.2).
Note: vNICs are not supported simultaneously on the same switch ports as
VMready.
CN4093(config)# vnic vnicgroup 1
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# vlan 1000
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# member INTA1.1(Add vNIC pipes to the group)
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# member INTA2.1
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# port INTA4 (Add non‐vNIC port to the group)
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# port EXT1
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# failover
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# enable
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# exit
CN4093(config)# vnic vnicgroup 2
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# vlan 1774
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# member INTA1.2
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# member INTA2.2
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# member INTA3.2
vNIC 3.2 is not enabled.
Confirm enabling vNIC3.2 [y/n]: y
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# port INTA5

CN4093(vnic­group­config)# enable
CN4093(vnic­group­config)# exit
Once VLAN 1000 and 1774 are configured for vNIC groups, they will not be
available for regular configuration.
Note: vNICs are not supported simultaneously on the same switch ports as
VMready.
