Note:
The “PortFast Trunk” command and the trunking commands in this scenario are only required
under the Port Channel interfaces and are not required on the physical interfaces. However,
best practice is to configure the physical interface the same as the port channel interface
just in case the port channel is dissolved and the uplinks resort to simple failover mode.
Advanced Virtual Connect Ethernet Designs
Virtual Connect’s implementation of vNets allows for administrators to implement creative solutions
to address many different complex networking designs. Typically, a vNet represents a single VLAN.
However, a single VLAN can be represented within a Virtual Connect Domain by multiple vNets. By
