Examples
Creating a vNIC set while working with new instances
cURL Command
The following example shows how to create a virtual NIC set by submitting a POST request on the REST resource using cURL. For more information about cURL, see Use cURL.
For new instances that you create in an IP network, create an empty vNIC set and then specify the multipart name of the empty vNIC set in the networking section of the orchestration or launch plan. For example, if you create a vNIC set with the name /Compute-acme/jack.jones@example.com/vnicset_new_instance, then specify ???vnicsets": ["/Compute-acme/jack.jones@example.com/vnicset_new_instance"] in the networking section of the orchestration or launch plan. When the instance is created, vNICs are automatically populated in the vNIC set that you mentioned in the orchestration or launch plan. When you delete the instance, the vNICs are automatically removed from the vNIC set.
Enter the command on a single line. Line breaks are used in this example for readability.

Creating a vNIC set while working with existing instances
cURL Command
The following example shows how to create a virtual NIC by submitting a POST request on the REST resource using cURL. For more information about cURL, see Use cURL.
For existing instances that are available in the IP network, use the GET method to get details of the virtual NICs of an instance, and then add the virtual NICs to a virtual NIC set.
Enter the command on a single line. Line breaks are used in this example for readability.
