NIC assignment mapping

Last Updated : Oct 30, 2026 |
Following the forklift hardware migration of an ASP Dell R640 running on ESXi to Dell R660xs ASP 130 R7.x, there is a change in the NIC port naming convention. The ports previously labeled as vmnic0-3 on the 4-port motherboard NIC and vmnic4-5 on the 2-port PCIe NIC are renamed to eno8303 and eno8403 on the 2 port NIC card, and eno12399, eno12409, eno12419, and eno12429 on the 4 port NIC card. On the A3/31 profile, the 2 port 10/25G NIC ports are ens1f0np0 and ens1f1np1.
This section outlines the NIC assignment configuration for the supported Dell servers in the Avaya Solutions Platform (ASP) Release R7.x, operating with KVM on RHEL 9.6, along with its various profile configurations.
