Binding a vNIC to a vNIC Template
You can bind a vNIC associated with a service profile to a vNIC template. When you bind the vNIC to a vNIC
template, Cisco UCS Manager configures the vNIC with the values defined in the vNIC template. If the
existing vNIC configuration does not match the vNIC template, Cisco UCS Manager reconfigures the vNIC.
You can only change the configuration of a bound vNIC through the associated vNIC template. You cannot
bind a vNIC to a vNIC template if the service profile that includes the vNIC is already bound to a service
profile template.
If the vNIC is reconfigured when you bind it to a template, Cisco UCS Manager reboots the server
associated with the service profile.
