Things To Watch Out For When Creating Virtual Ports

•

Make certain that the virtual port number (Base VPI) plus the VPIs designated by

MaxVpiBits

does

not exceed the Available VPIs as specified by

MaxVpiBits

in the

set portconfig

command.

•

If you create more than one virtual port on a particular physical port, make certain that you do not
run out of Available VPIs as specified by

MaxVpiBits

in the

set portconfig

command.

•

If you create more than one virtual port on a particular physical port, make certain that no overlap
occurs among the VPIs used by the virtual ports.

•

Make sure the CAC policy is set correctly for the number of virtual ports.

•

Make certain that the traffic descriptors used by the virtual ports were created with the appropriate
bandwidth and category of service.
