3. Assign an LPVID to all NIC channels. LPVID values can be specified between 2 and
4094 and must be unique across all channels on a port. However, LPVIDs do not
need to be unique across the adapter's ports. You can assign the same LPVIDs on
each port on the adapter.
4. Set the Minimum Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth values for each channel.
Setting a channel's minimum and maximum bandwidth values to 0 disables the
channel.The minimum bandwidth values of a channel can be set between 0 and 100,
but the total of all of the minimum bandwidths must add up to 100 percent. The one
exception is when all channel minimum and maximum bandwidths are set to 0. The
maximum bandwidth values of a channel must be greater than or equal to the
minimum bandwidth values for that channel.
5. Click Apply. A reboot is not required.
UMC Channel Management Field Definitions

Function Number (Read-only) – The function number assigned by the system to
the channel. Channels 2 and 4 are read-only on OCe11102 adapters.

Type (Read-only) – The protocol type in use.

MAC address (Read-only) – The MAC address assigned to the channel.

LPVID – Each channel can be assigned a default VLAN ID. Each egress
untagged packet is tagged with this default value.

Minimum BW (%) – The minimum percentage of the port's bandwidth at which
the channel is guaranteed to run.

Maximum BW (%) – The maximum percentage of the port's bandwidth that can
be used by the channel.
Viewing the Channel Management Tab for vNIC1 (IBM only)
For IBM adapters that support vNIC1, the vNIC properties are displayed in the
Channel Management tab (when vNIC1 is enabled). The Port Channel Management
Tab for vNIC1 is read-only except for the LPVID, which can be modified.
