The available options are:

• Ethernet—You can pick one or more Ethernet ports across switches to form a LAG. The network can be of any type. For example:

Ethernet.

• FCoE—You can pick one port from an IOM and associate a single network of FCoE type. This is for FCoE connectivity that

connects to another switch that connects to the FC network. For single fabric, you can have two FCoE uplink, one from each

IOM. Both IOMs must have dierent network that is, dierent FCoE VLANs.

NOTE: On the uplink FCoE switch, use the default fc-map (0efc00) only.

• FC Gateway—You can pick one or more ports from the same IOM and associate a single network of FCoE type. This type of

uplink is for connectivity to a SAN switch. For single Fabric, you can have two FC gateway uplinks one from each IOM. Both IOMs

must have dierent network that is, dierent FCoE VLANs. For a given fabric, you can have at least one uplink of type FC (either

of FCoE, FCDirectAttach, FC Gateway).

• FC Direct Attach— You can pick one or more ports from same IOM and associate a single network of FCoE type. This type of

uplink is for direct FC storage connectivity. For single fabric, user can have two FC DirectAttach uplink, one from each IOM. Both

IOMs must have dierent networks that is, dierent FCoE VLANs.

If you are required to congure new network other than the existing ones, click Add Network and enter the network details. For more

details see, Adding Network.

NOTE: Do not add or apply untagged networks, as the uplink and server facing ports carrying FCoE trac must use the

default VLAN 1 as the untagged VLAN always. In FCoE, FC Gateway, or FC Direct Attach uplinks, the default VLAN 1 is

applied to the server and FCoE uplink ports, automatically, while adding the tagged FCoE networks.
