3. Assign an LPVID to all NIC channels. LPVID values can be specified between 2 and

4094 and must be unique across all channels on a port. However, LPVIDs do not

need to be unique across the adapter's ports. You can assign the same LPVIDs on

each port on the adapter.

4. Set the Minimum Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth values for each channel.

Setting a channel's minimum and maximum bandwidth values to 0 disables the

channel.The minimum bandwidth values of a channel can be set between 0 and 100,

but the total of all of the minimum bandwidths must add up to 100 percent. The one

exception is when all channel minimum and maximum bandwidths are set to 0. The

maximum bandwidth values of a channel must be greater than or equal to the

minimum bandwidth values for that channel.

5. Click Apply. A reboot is not required.

untagged packet is tagged with this default value.

Minimum BW (%) – The minimum percentage of the port's bandwidth at which

the channel is guaranteed to run.

Maximum BW (%) – The maximum percentage of the port's bandwidth that can

be used by the channel.

Tab for vNIC1 is read-only except for the LPVID, which can be modified.
