vNIC Bandwidth Metering
Enterprise
NOS
8.4
supports
bandwidth
metering
for
vNIC
traffic.
By
default,
each
of
the
four
vNICs
on
any
given
port
is
allowed
an
equal
share
(25%)
of
NIC
capacity
when
enabled.
However,
you
may
configure
the
percentage
of
available
switch
port
bandwidth
permitted
to
each
vNIC.
vNIC
bandwidth
can
be
configured
as
a
value
from
1
to
100,
with
each
unit
representing
1%
(or
100Mbps)
of
the
10Gbps
link.
By
default,
each
vNICs
enabled
on
a
port
is
assigned
25
units
(equal
to
25%
of
the
link,
or
2.5Gbps).
When
traffic
from
the
switch
to
the
vNIC
reaches
its
assigned
bandwidth
limit,
the
switch
will
drop
packets
egressing
to
the
affected
vNIC.
Note:
Bandwidth
metering
drops
excess
packets
when
configured
limits
are
reached.
Consider
using
the
ETS
feature
in
applications
where
packet
loss
is
not
desirable
(see
To
change
the
bandwidth
allocation,
use
the
following
commands:
Note:
vNICs
that
are
disabled
are
automatically
allocated
a
bandwidth
value
of
0.
A
combined
maximum
of
100
units
can
be
allocated
among
vNIC
pipes
enabled
for
any
specific
port
(bandwidth
values
for
disabled
pipes
are
not
counted).
If
more
than
100
units
are
assigned
to
enabled
pipes,
an
error
will
be
reported
when
attempting
to
apply
the
configuration.
The
bandwidth
metering
configuration
is
automatically
synchronized
between
the
switch
and
vNICs
for
regular
Ethernet
and
iSCSI
traffic.
Once
configured
on
the
switch,
there
is
no
need
to
manually
configure
vNIC
bandwidth
metering
limits
on
the
NIC.
Note:
FCoE
vNIC
does
not
use
egress
metering.
ETS
and
PFC
must
be
enabled
to
ensure
lossless
transmission
for
FCoE
traffic.
ETS
does
traffic
shaping.
You
can
configure
a
minimum
bandwidth
for
each
traffic
class.
For
example,
40%
for
FCoE
priority
3,
60%
for
the
Ethernet
traffic.
FCoE
traffic
gets
40%
minimum
guaranteed
bandwidth.
If
the
Ethernet
traffic
only
consumes
30%
bandwidth,
then
FCoE
traffic
can
use
70%.
If
there
is
no
other
Ethernet
traffic,
then
FCoE
traffic
can
use
100%.
The
FCoE
vNIC
can
use
up
to
100%
of
the
bandwidth,
with
a
minimum
guaranteed
bandwidth
of
40%.
