Vnic speed/BW

[bhargav1985]

Hi all,  I have a question regarding the speed/BW of vNics we create put of VIC 1240/1280. Lets say I am using 6248 FI's and 2208 IOM's and I connect all 8 ports from each I/O module to FI, so I will have 80 GB B/W on each IOM going to FI. I have a VIC 1240 adapter on all of the 8 blades on the Chassis and I have ESXi installed on all 8 blades. So lets I want to have 4 nics on each ESXi hosts. What will be the speed of each nic on each host? Is it 10 GB(thats what we see in Vcneter) or is it less than 10 GB or does this speed depends on the number of connections between IOM and FI?

Thanks,

Bhargav

Each vNIC with the VIC 1240/1280 combo/gen 2 IOM/FI will be detected as 20GB in ESXi. If you had the 1240 and port expander it would be detected as 40GB

Hi Jeremy, how is each vnic detected as 10gb. Belwo is a screen shot, each nic is shows up as 10GB

You need to have the Chassis connectivity policy set for port-channel.

Below is my chassis policy

Did you set the chassis discovery policy to port channel before or after your chassis were discovered?

Do you have any limits set on a QoS policy?
