How to set operational speed in a vNIC

[cjthulasiraman1]

Hello All,

I have a requirement to host Windows server in a Cisco UCS B-series blade with VIC 1240 installed. While creating vNICs, by default, operational speed is set to line rate which provide 10 Gbps speed. However, I would like to setup 1 Gbps speed for vNICs configured for Windows servers. Could you please advise me on configuration steps?
