Step4: Associate VMkernel Ports to Physical Adapters

The next step is used to create the individual path bindings for each VMkernel to a NIC. This is required in
order to take advantage of the new advanced features such as Most Recently Used(MRU) MPIO or 3rd
party MPIO plug-ins available from Dell.
From our previous step there are 3 VMkernel ports and 3 NICs. This means that each NIC will have 1
VMkernel ports assigned to it. Again, each environment will differ and these numbers can change based
on the number of NICs and the number of paths assigned.
This process can be done either via CLI or through the vCenter GUI.
