Note

Note

You must enable trunking on the Extreme Integrated Application Hosting port when you use SR-IOV and OVS connection types. For more information about enabling trunking, see MultiLink Trunking and Split MultiLink Trunking.

You can configure Extreme Integrated Application Hosting ports 1/s1 and 1/s2 to accommodate different connect types. Extreme Integrated Application Hosting ports 1/s1 and 1/s2 can accommodate virtual ports of SR-IOV, OVS, or VT-d connect types. Two VT-d connection types are supported on either 1/s1 or 1/s2 Extreme Integrated Application Hosting ports. Using the virtual-service command, you can specify which Extreme Integrated Application Hosting port is associated with the configured connect type. You can also configure the Network Interface Card (NIC) type of the virtual port using the virtual-service command.

The following table lists the compatible Extreme Integrated Application Hosting port connect type configurations.
