 #
 #HCA - Optional HCA specification for use with PORT specification. First HCA is 0.
 #
+#PORTGUID - The PORTGUID of the IB port to use.
+#
+#              Use of PORTGUID for configuring the VNIC interface has an 
+#              advantage on hosts having more than 1 HCAs plugged in. As
+#              PORTGUID is persistent for given IB port, VNIC configurations
+#              would be consistent and reliable - unaffected by restarts of
+#              OFED IB stack on host having more than 1 HCAs plugged in.
+#
+#              On the downside, if HCA on the host is changed, VNIC interfaces
+#              configured with PORTGUID needs reconfiguration.
 #
 #IB_MULTICAST - Controls enabling or disabling of IB multicast feature on VNIC.
 #               Defaults to TRUE implying IB multicast is enabled for 
 #   SECONDARY = {IOCGUID=0x66A013000010C; INSTANCE=0; PORT=2; IB_MULTICAST=FALSE; }
 #  }

+# Example of HCA/PORT and PORTGUID configurations:
