Note: SR-IOV is automatically disabled when multichannel is enabled.
Note: Your adapter or system may not support all multichannel options.
Configuring Minimum and Maximum Bandwidth
To configure bandwidth:
1. On the Configure Channel screen, use the use the up or down arrow keys to select
Min BW or Max BW.
2. Use the left or right arrow keys to select the desired bandwidth value.

The Minimum Bandwidth value is the least amount of bandwidth that the
function can provide. It is represented as a percentage. The Minimum
Bandwidth value must be less than or equal to the Maximum Bandwidth value.
The total of the Minimum Bandwidth values for all enabled functions on that
port must be equal to 100.
Note: A Minimum Bandwidth value of 0 is a valid value. When all of the
partitions’ Minimum Bandwidth values are zero, the bandwidth is
distributed equally among the current active partitions. If a specific
partition’s Minimum Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth values are
0, that partition’s logical link will be brought down.

The Maximum Bandwidth value is the greatest amount of bandwidth that the
function can provide. It is represented as a percentage.
3. Press <F7> to save.
Configuring LPVID
The LPVID is used to enforce a VLAN ID on all traffic originating from an IP address,
channel, or PCI function. If the operating system for that PCI function has set up a
VLAN ID, then the operating system-configured VLAN ID takes precedence over the
LPVID for transmit packets while the operating system-configured VLAN ID and
LPVID-tagged packets will both be received. If the operating system has not set up any
VLAN IDs, then the LPVID is used for tagging.
Note: LPVID and user-configured VLAN IDs from the operating system must be
different.
Note: LPVIDs must be configured on the switch port.
Each LPVID must be unique and is relevant for NIC traffic only. The LPVID is not
supported for storage functions. For iSCSI storage functions, you must configure a
VLAN ID through iSCSISelect or through the host. For additional information, see
“Configuring VLAN ID and VLAN Priority” on page 1604.
During PXE boot when the UNDI Driver (BIOS) is functional, the PXE VLAN is used.
However, once the NIC driver is operational the LPVID is used.
Note: If no PXE VLAN is configured, the LPVID is used.
For example:
