The following steps are specific to vNIC configuration.
Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter documentation for details.
RS G8264(config)# vnic enable
RS G8264(config)# vnic port 17­24 index 1 (Select vNIC 1 on the ports)
RS G8264(vnic­config)# bandwidth 25
RS G8264(vnic­config)# enable
RS G8264(vnic­config)# exit
RS G8264(config)# vnic port 17­24 index 3 (Select vNIC 3 on the ports)
RS G8264(vnic­config)# bandwidth 25
RS G8264(vnic­config)# enable
RS G8264(vnic­config)# exit
RS G8264(config)# vnic port 17­24 index 4 (Select vNIC 4 on the ports)
RS G8264(vnic­config)# bandwidth 25
RS G8264(vnic­config)# enable
RS G8264(vnic­config)# exit
The Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter ignores ETS bandwidth metering
configuration. Instead, for FCoE traffic, all bandwidth not previously assigned to
the other vNIC pipes is automatically allocated to the FCoE pipe (vNIC pipe 2). For
example: by default, pipes 1, 3, and 4 are allocated a total of 75% of the port's
bandwidth, which leaves FCoE the remaining 25%. If there is no other vNIC traffic
on the port, the FCoE vNIC will use 100% of the port capacity. The FCoE vNIC uses
ETS and PFC for a lossless transmission.
