2. Select the Uplink Connectivity as Layer 2, enter the name and description, and click Next.
NOTE: You can create L2 uplinks only on leaf switches.
3. Select a rack and one or more interfaces from the leaf switches to associate to the uplinks.
If you want to split a port speed, breakout the interface first before associating the interface
to the uplinks. See Breakout Switch Ports to configure breakout the ports from SFS GUI.
4. Select the LAG mode based on the configuration setup in the external network, and click Next. To form a LAG on the leaf
switches, select an interface or interfaces that are of the same speed.
NOTE: Ensure that the corresponding ports on the external switches are configured with the same LAG mode.
5. Associate the networks with the selected interfaces:
● Add single or multiple tagged networks.
● Add the network from the displayed list or create a general-purpose network using the Add Network. To add a network,
enter the name, description, and VLAN ID. Networks that are created using this wizard are created on the fabric as
general purpose networks. For more information about different types of network in SFS, see Networks.
