Gateway Manual Mode Overview (Linux)

The default and suggested means of creating and managing VNICs on the gateway is through use of BridgeX gateway administrative commands. To use the commands described in these topics, you must either be the root user of the management controller or access them through the /SYS/Gateway_Mgmt or /SYS/Fabric_Mgmt Linux shell targets of the Oracle ILOM CLI. The VNICs you create through the commands are based on the InfiniBand hosts.

When creating VNICs, consider this:
