7 . If you wish to use SR-IOV, you must select the Enable Single Root I/O
Virtualization (SR-IOV) check box, and this cannot be changed after the switch is
created. Also select the minimum bandwidth mode, which quantifies minimum
bandwidth for workloads. Absolute is an actual number of bits per second, while
Weight is an integer between 1 and 100 and is a relative value—the higher the
weight, the greater the minimum bandwidth in times of contention. The best
practice is to use Weight instead of Absolute; Absolute can cause challenges when
the required value is not available.. This setting is the same as the -
MinimumBandwidthMode switch when using New-VMSwitch in PowerShell. For more
information, see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-

deployment as part of the logical switch usage. This can be changed in the future if
required. Click Next.
9 . The virtual port profiles should now be added to the logical switch. Click the Add
button, and in the dialog box that appears, click the Browse button to select the
port classification. (Remember, this is the generic classification that is exposed to
users of the environment.) Then select the “Include a virtual network adapter port
profile in this virtual port” check box and select the virtual port profile that
corresponds. For example, if you select the high-bandwidth port classification,
then most likely you would select the High Bandwidth Adapter virtual port profile
object. Click OK. Repeat to add classifications. Select the classification that you
would like to be the default, and click the Set Default button. Click Next.
