Adding or Editing a Virtual NIC Configuration
Adding a virtual NIC configuration to a Server Template enables NIC partitioning on servers to which the
template is applied.
1. Enter a Name for the virtual NIC configuration.
2. Select a Connection Type of LAN, SAN (iSCSI), or SAN (FCoE) to display existing networks of that
type.
3. Select the Native VLAN on which all untagged traffic will be placed. This option is required for FCoE
and boot-to-network configurations (for example, boot to SAN, PXE, or DHCP).
4. Enter the Maximum Bandwidth in GB (maximum of 10 GB). This is the maximum bandwidth the
virtual NIC can consume at any time, even if bandwidth oversubscription is enabled.
5. Enter the Minimum Bandwidth in GB (maximum of 10 GB). This is the minimum bandwidth the virtual
NIC will be guaranteed. If needed, the virtual NIC will consume up to the maximum bandwidth but not
over.
6. Optionally, select Redundancy to configure a secondary virtual NIC on the server that provides a
redundant network path through the fabric.
7. Optionally, select a Virtual Identity Pool. A virtual identity pool is a group of MAC, iSCSI, and FCoE
identities that you can reserve to be used by one or more Server Templates. By default, all virtual
identities belong to the Global pool. Pools are created on the Networking Configuration pane from
Setup > Networking.
