Abstract
A method and system for configuring communications over a physical communication link connected between a physical port of a network switch and a physical port of a physical network interface on an end station. The communication link between the physical port of the network switch and the physical port of the physical network interface is logically partitioned into a number of channels of communication. For each channel, a channel profile is generated that defines properties of that channel. The physical network interface is instructed to self-configure such that the physical network interface is able to communicate with the network switch over each channel in accordance with the channel profile defined for that channel.
