Second-level vifs

About second-level vifs

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

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