SRIOV Port Sharing

With port sharing, you can:

• Create an interface on a capable port.
• Create type sub-interfaces using the interface, and attach these sub-interfaces to data networks..
• Create type interfaces using the interface, and attach them to , internal management and cluster-host platform networks respectively.
• Create ethernet type of sub-interfaces using an interface, and attach this interface to pxeboot network, which has to be untagged network.

By doing so, all of the network planes can be carried by only one VF-capable physical port according to following resource allocation:

• Platform type networks: PF
  • pxeboot
  • oam
  • cluster-host
  • mgmt
• Data type networks:
  • pci-sriov class, vf type
• Configuring Ethernet Interfaces on SR-IOV interface Using from Horizon <configuring-ethernet-interfaces-on-sriov-interace usingfrom-horizon>
• Configuring Ethernet Interfaces on SR-IOV interface Using the CLI <configuring-ethernet-interfaces-on-sriov-interface-using-cli>
