Usage Use this command to create vNICs on the switch. This is useful if you want to assign a vNIC to the server-switch without adding virtual services.
Examples To create a vNIC with an IP address of 192.168.1.47/24, on VLAN 101, data, and vNIC type e1000, and exclusive, use the following command:
CLI network-admin@switch > switch-vnic-create ip 192.168.1.47/24 vlan 101 if data vm-nic-type e1000 exclusive
switch-vnic-delete
This command is used to remove a virtual Network Interface Card (vNIC) from the switch.
Syntax switch-vnic-delete
nic nic-string |
Specify the vNIC to delete from the switch. This is autogenerated when the vNIC is created. |
Defaults None.

History Command introduced in nvOS Version 1.2.1
Usage Use this command to delete a vNIC from a switch. Use the switch-vnic-show command to display a list of configured vNICs on the switch.
Examples To delete the vNIC, eth0.3, use the following command:
CLI network-admin@switch >switch-vnic-delete nic eth0.3
