Abstract
A method for remapping VNICs associated with an aggregation layer. The method includes making a first determination that a first network interface card (NIC) has failed, where the first NIC and a second NIC are part of the aggregation group, the aggregation layer manages the aggregation group, where a first virtual NIC (VNIC) is mapped to the first NIC and a second VNIC is mapped to the second NIC, and the first NIC is connected to a first switch and the second NIC is connected to a second switch. The method further includes, based on the first determination, remapping the first VNIC to the second NIC, and after the remapping, receiving packets by the first VNIC from the second NIC.
