- PRISM
- Click the Network link in the Drop Down menu to the left in PRISM and you’ll see an overview of AHV Networks, AHV Hosts and Network Switches.
- Click one of the hosts, in my case NTNX-Block1-C and it will show you the Bridge to Bond to Physical Uplink structure in use. As you can see i got three NICs plugged in and all of them are used by Bond0. If i plugged in the second 1 Gbps interface it would also be used by Bond0.
- Click the Network link in the Drop Down menu to the left in PRISM and you’ll see an overview of AHV Networks, AHV Hosts and Network Switches.
- Command Line Interface (CLI)
- To show existing Bridges, run the command “allssh manage_ovs show_bridges” from any CVM in the cluster
- To show physical interfaces attached to the bridge(s), run the command “allssh manage_ovs show_uplinks on any CVM in the Cluster.
- To show each NICs name, mode, link and speed, run the command “allssh manage_ovs show_interfaces” from any CVM in the Cluster.
- To show existing Bridges, run the command “allssh manage_ovs show_bridges” from any CVM in the cluster
Prism will show an alert if traffic is running on the 1 Gbps NICs.
To avoid running any traffic on the 1 Gbps NICs there are two simple commands available which will remove all the 1 Gbps NICs from the bond.
- Extremely simple command
- run command “allssh manage_ovs –interfaces 10g update_uplinks”. In the below example i just ran the command without allssh option to limit the output.
- run command “allssh manage_ovs –interfaces 10g update_uplinks”. In the below example i just ran the command without allssh option to limit the output.
- Simple command which requires input parameters.
- run command “allssh manage_ovs –interfaces <nic,nic> update_uplinks”. In the below example i pointed out the 2×10 Gbps NICs which i got from the command ” “allssh manage_ovs show_interfaces”
- run command “allssh manage_ovs –interfaces <nic,nic> update_uplinks”. In the below example i pointed out the 2×10 Gbps NICs which i got from the command ” “allssh manage_ovs show_interfaces”
Now let’s verify the new configuration.
- Prism
- Click the Hosts in the Network View. In my case i’ll check the NTNX-Block1-C again and now we can see that only the 2 x 10 Gbps NICs are used by Bond0
