Host Instance
For each instance that a host is connected to the same IOC, a unique number
must be assigned. The default value is zero (range = 0-255).
Host GUID
The globally unique indentifier for a host port GUID. This is the port GUID of
the HCA port of the virtual port specified in a 'create' block of an
/etc/sysconfig/ics_inic.cfg file of a host. This field is only valid for
the viftual port(s) in use.
NOTE: For information on assigning a host connection to a specific viPort using
the ethVirtAssignedHostSet command, refer to the section
"Appendix D - Command Line Interface".

VLAN Configuration Example
An Ethernet network can be accessed via Ethernet port 1, which contains Ethernet
hosts in VLAN 2 and Ethernet hosts in VLAN 4094. InfiniBand (IB) host 1 needs to
be a member of VLAN 2 and IB host 2 needs to be a member of VLAN 4094.
In this example, IB host 1 is virtual port 1 and IB host 2 is virtual port 2. Given these
parameters, the following configuration allows communication between the IB hosts
and the appropriate Ethernet hosts:

NOTE: The PVID on the Ethernet port does not need to be changed since
all frames received from the Ethernet network will have VLAN tags
and non-zero VLAN IDs.
