Blade ICE RACKSWITCH G8124-E - Manual (Page 162)

1. Define the server ports.
2. Configure the external trunk to be used with vNIC group 2.
3. Enable the vNIC feature on the switch.
4. Configure the virtual pipes for the vNICs attached to each server port:
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 3.2).
Note – vNICs are not supported simultaneously on the same switch ports as VMready, or on the
same switch as DCBX or FCoE.
