> # VSAN Interface Configuration Guidelines

> Follow these guidelines when creating or deleting VSAN interfaces:

> - Create a VSAN before creating the interface for that VSAN. If a VSAN does not exist, the interface cannot be created.
> - Create the interface VSAN—it is not created automatically.
> - If you delete the VSAN, the attached interface is automatically deleted.
> - Configure each interface only in one VSAN.

> Tip After configuring the VSAN interface, you can configure an IP address or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) feature. See the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS IP Services Configuration Guide.
