Second-level vifs

About second-level vifs

You group multiple multi-mode vifs to obtain a second layer of vif called the second-level vif.

Second-level vifs enable you to provide a standby multi-mode vif in case the primary multi-mode vif fails. You can use second-level vifs on a single filer or in a cluster.
