Adding interfaces to a vif

If you want to expand your network, you can use the vif command to add one or more physical interfaces to a vif.

Before You Begin

You must configure additional ports on the switch where the new interfaces will be connected. For information about configuring the switch, see your switch vendor's documentation.

The interface to be added to the vif must be configured down using the ifconfig command.

Step

  1. Enter the following command:

    vif add vif_name interface_list

    vif_name is the name of a previously configured vif.

    interface_list is a list of the interfaces you want to add to the vif.

Example

You can add the interface e4 to the multimode vif MultiTrunk1 with the following command:

vif add MultiTrunk1 e4

Note:

The operation performed using the vif add command is not persistent across reboots unless the command is added to the /etc/rc file.
