2. From the MultiChannel Configuration screen, you can perform the following tasks:

Configure PXE boot support – see “Configuring PXE Boot Support” on
page 1525 for instructions.

Configure PXE VLAN ID/Priority – see “Configuring the PXE VLAN ID and
Priority” on page 1526 for instructions.

Identify ports – see “Physically Identifying the Port” on page 1527 for
instructions.

Erase the port and adapter configuration – see “Erasing Ports and Controller
Configuration” on page 1527 for instructions.

Configure the minimum and maximum bandwidth for each channel.

Configure the LPVID for each channel.
Note: Your adapter or system may not support all multichannel options.
Configuring Minimum and Maximum Bandwidth
To configure bandwidth:
1. On the configuration screen, use the key to select Minimum Bandwidth or
Maximum Bandwidth.

The Minimum Bandwidth value is the least amount of bandwidth that the
function can provide. It is represented as a percentage. The Minimum
Bandwidth value must be less than or equal to the Maximum Bandwidth value.
The total of the Minimum Bandwidth values for all enabled functions on that
port must be equal to 100.
Note: A Minimum Bandwidth value of 0 is a valid value. When all of the
partitions’ Minimum Bandwidth values are zero, the bandwidth is
distributed equally among the current active partitions. If a specific
partition’s Minimum Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth values are
0, that partition’s logical link will be brought down.

The Maximum Bandwidth value is the greatest amount of bandwidth that the
function can provide. It is represented as a percentage.
2. Enter the value for the specified option and press .
3. Select Save and press .
Configuring LPVID
The LPVID is used to enforce a VLAN ID on all traffic originating from an IP address,
channel, or PCI function. If the operating system for that PCI function has set up a
VLAN ID, then the operating system-configured VLAN ID takes precedence over the
LPVID for transmit packets while the operating system-configured VLAN ID and
LPVID-tagged packets will both be received. If the operating system has not set up any
VLAN IDs, then the LPVID is used for tagging.
Note: LPVID and user-configured VLAN IDs from the operating system must be
different.
