How to configure a virtual interface (VIF)?
A virtual interface is created by the “vif” command. Two kind of vif exists: • Single: in this mode, only one physical interface is active at a time. The other ones are in “standby” and they will be used only if there is a fault in the active link. This mode could be named “failover” • Multiple: in this mode, all physical interfaces are used and they take part in a load balancing. This mode is compliant to the IEEE 802.3ad (static configuration). It must be used with a switch which supports trunking/aggregation over multiple port connections (all ports shares the same MAC address). Base command: vif create [ single | multi ] vif_name [ -b {rr|mac|ip} ] [ interface_list ] Single mode exemple: vif create single turlututu e0a e0b e0b e0c Multi mode exemple: vif create multiple turlututu -b rr e0d e0e The “-b” option is usable only with multi mode and must correspond to the parameters of the switch. To add an IP address to the vif, simply use the ifconfig command: ifconfig turlutu 192.168.
