VSAN Interfaces
VSANs apply to Fibre Channel fabrics and enable you to configure multiple isolated SAN topologies
within the same physical infrastructure. You can create an IP interface on top of a VSAN and then use
this interface to send frames to this VSAN. To use this feature, you must configure the IP address for
this VSAN. VSAN interfaces cannot be created for nonexisting VSANs.
This section describes VSAN interfaces and includes the following topics:

About VSAN Interfaces
Follow these guidelines when creating or deleting VSAN interfaces:
• Create a VSAN before creating the interface for that VSAN. If a VSAN does not exist, the interface
cannot be created.
• Create the interface VSAN—it is not created automatically.
• If you delete the VSAN, the attached interface is automatically deleted.
• Configure each interface only in one VSAN.
Tip After configuring the VSAN interface, you can configure an IP address or Virtual Router Redundancy
Protocol (VRRP) feature (see Chapter 51, “Configuring IP Services”).
