C240 M5 - VIC 1457 - Access Port

[George D]

We have a C240 M5 with a VIC 1457. We want to use this as a standalone server connected to a 9300 switch with 2 x 10g network ports. how in the world do you configure the VIC card ports in access mode? 

i've removed the default port channel option and changed the vnic settings in CIMC.

right now the only way to get any network connection is to use it in port in trunk mode and set a native vlan on the switch. 

anyone else get this working in access mode? is this documented somewhere? I really don't want to this to break on the next upgrade

thanks

Gd
