Configure Virtual Ports
About this task
Perform the following procedure to configure virtual ports to be used by the virtual service configured on the switch.
Note
The names of Ethernet ports appearing in a specific Virtual Machine (VM) are not correlated to the configured virtual port names. Each VM renames the Ethernet ports as per its requirements, after they are discovered during the VM initialization.
By default, the system displays all virtual ports of OVS connection type first in the alphabetical order of their configured names, followed by the virtual ports of SR-IOV and VT-d connection types.
Before you begin
-
You must enable trunking on the Extreme Integrated Application Hosting (IAH) port when you use SR-IOV and OVS connection types.
-
Ensure the switch has the Ethernet drivers installed as per the SR-IOV standard, to support the VT-d and the SR-IOV connection type for the configured virtual ports.
