Move a Physical Adapter Out the Scope of Network I/O
Control
Under certain conditions you might need to exclude physical adapters with low capacity from the
bandwidth allocation model of Network I/O Control version 3.
For example, if the bandwidth allocation on a vSphere Distributed Switch is tailored on top of 10 GbE
NICs, you might not be able to add a 1GbE NIC to the switch because it cannot meet the higher allocation
requirements configured on the 10GbE NICs.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that the host is running ESXi 6.0 and later.
n
Verify that vSphere Distributed Switch is version 6.0.0 and later.
n
Verify that Network I/O Control on the switch is version 3.
