Viewing NIC Port Information
When you select a NIC port from the Emulex Device Management tree-view, the NIC
Port Information tab shows general attributes associated with the selected NIC port. If
the adapter supports vNIC, vNIC data is also displayed.
Notes:

NIC ports not only exist on NIC-only adapters, but also exist on FCoE and
iSCSI adapters.

vNIC is supported only on IBM virtual fabric adapters. For specific
information as to whether it is supported on a specific adapter, refer to the
release notes that are available on the IBM adapter pages on the Emulex
website.
To view general NIC port information:
1. Select a host in the vSphere console tree-view and select the Emulex OneCommand
tab.
2. In the Emulex Device Management tree-view, select the NIC port for which you
want to view information.
Note: In Virtual Ports view, NIC ports appear only on FCoE adapters. They do not
appear on NIC-only adapters.
