Creating virtual interfaces

You can use the Create VIF wizard to create a virtual interface (vif), a feature that implements link aggregation on your storage system. Vifs provide a mechanism to group together multiple network interfaces (links) into one logical interface (aggregate).

Before you begin

The status of the physical interface must be down.

Steps

1.	From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.

2.	In the navigation pane, click Configuration > Network > Interfaces.

3.	Click Create VIF.

4.	Type or select information as requested by the wizard.

5.	Verify that the vif you created is included in the list of interfaces in the Network Interfaces window.
