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.
