following:

The Channel Configuration table shows the channel properties for vNIC. Additionally,
the protocol can be configured on the second and third channels including NIC .
The NIC channels can be assigned an LPVID (or inner VLAN ID). It can be assigned

by clicking Details.
Note: After changing the LPVIDs on any of the channels and clicking Apply, the
changes take effect immediately. No reboot is required.
