Configuring the Fixed Static Interfaces
You can configure two physical interfaces and binds two virtual interfaces to each physical interface, creating
fixed static vEthernet interfaces. For more information on configuring fixed static interfaces, see the
Adapter-FEX Configuration Guide for your device.
With redundant switches, you can perform the following procedure with identical settings on both the primary
and secondary switches.
Before You Begin
•
VM-FEX and other required services must be enabled on the switches.
•
Two static vNICs must be configured on the VIC adapter installed in the host server.
