vNIC Uplink Modes
The
switch
supports
two
modes
for
configuring
the
vNIC
uplinks:
dedicated
mode
and
shared
mode.
The
default
is
the
dedicated
mode.
To
enable
the
shared
mode,
enter
the
following
command:
In
the
dedicated
mode,
only
one
vNIC
group
is
assigned
to
an
uplink
port.
This
port
can
be
a
regular
port
or
a
LAG
port.
The
NIC
places
an
outer
tag
on
the
vNIC
group
packets.
This
outer
tag
contains
the
vNIC
group
VLAN.
The
uplink
NIC
strips
off
the
outer
tag
before
sending
out
the
packet.
For
details,
see
.
In
the
shared
mode,
multiple
vNIC
groups
can
be
assigned
to
an
uplink
port.
This
port
can
be
a
regular
port
or
a
LAG
port.
The
vNIC
groups
share
the
uplink.
You
may
assign
a
few
vNIC
groups
to
share
an
uplink
and
the
other
vNIC
groups
to
have
a
single
uplink
each.
In
either
case,
the
switch
still
operates
in
shared
mode.
As
in
the
dedicated
mode,
the
NIC
places
an
outer
tag
on
the
vNIC
group
packets.
This
outer
tag
contains
the
vNIC
group
VLAN.
The
uplink
NIC
does
not
strip
off
the
outer
tag.
The
vNIC
group
tag
defines
the
regular
VLAN
for
the
packet.This
behavior
is
particularly
useful
in
cases
where
the
downstream
server
does
not
set
any
tag.
Effectively,
each
vNIC
group
is
a
VLAN,
which
you
can
assign
by
configuring
the
VLAN
to
the
vNIC
group.
You
must
enable
the
tag
configuration
on
the
uplink
port.
For
details,
see
