> To create a VSAN interface using DCNM-SAN, follow these steps:

> 1. Expand Switches > Management.
> 2. Click Create Row.

> You see the Create Interface dialog box.

> 3. Select the switch and VSAN ID for which you want to configure a VSAN interface.

> 4. Set IPAddress/Mask to the IP address and subnet mask for the new VSAN interface.
> 5. Click Create to create the VSAN interface or click Close to close the dialog box without creating the VSAN interface.
