You must create VLANs before VNICs.All VNICs are assigned to a VLAN, even if the VLAN ID is NO. For consistency, you can assign the VLAN ID of NO to the P_Key of default.

FabMan@gateway_name->createvnic connector|lagname <-guid guid>|<-host hostname -port port>|<-node string -port port> -mac mac -vlan vlan_ID -pkey p_key
where:
connector is the name of the connector (0A-ETH-1 to 0A-ETH-4, 0A-ETH, 1A-ETH-1 to 1A-ETH-4, and 1A-ETH). This value is column one of the gateway MAC address list.
lagname is the identifier of the LAG.
guid is the global unique identifier of the target port on the host associated with the VNIC. This value is column two of the gateway MAC address list.
hostname is the host name of the management controller or system name recognized by the BridgeX manager.
port is the port of the host.
string is the character string in the node description field.
mac is the machine address code. This value is column three of the gateway MAC address list.
Note - Only even numbers are supported for the most significant byte of the MAC address (unicast).
Note - If you do not assign a MAC address, the VNIC is not utilized. You must later assign a MAC address to the VNIC with the modifyvnic command if you want to use the VNIC.
vlan_ID is the VLAN identifier. This value is column four of the gateway MAC address list.
p_key is the partition identifier (default). This value is column five of the gateway MAC address list.
For example, to create a persistent VNIC for connector 1A-ETH-3 associated with VLAN 3 with partition key default, type.

Note - If the VNIC is to be non-persistent, append the -n option to the command line.
Note - For VNICs created by the createvnic command, the Network Interface names at the host which is set by the DEVICE parameter in the ifcfg-ethX (where X is identifier), the name should be different from eth0 to eth7, since these names are reserved for devices created and controlled from the host. A suggested name scheme would be ethgateway_instance_VNIC_ID, but all names apart for eth0 to eth7 would be valid.
