Creating a VNIC Without a VLAN ID for Clustered Controllers (BUI)
This example is for an active-active configuration with half of the network ports on standby. This task creates an IP interface over a device datalink and assigns it to a head. A VNIC is built on top of the same datalink, and an IP interface is configured on top of the VNIC and assigned to the other head. Configuring one instead of multiple VNICs over a given datalink ensures peak performance. Traffic flows over the cable associated with the underlying active port on one head, as well as the underlying standby port on the other head. Thus, the otherwise idle standby port can be used with VNICs.
