Item  Description 
PrefSpeed (required if 
PrefSpeedType is "Custom") 
The connection speed for any Ethernet connection attached to these 
networks. Valid values range from 100Mb to the MAX configured speed 
for the network in 100Mb increments. 
MaxSpeedType (Optional) 
The maximum connection speed for any Ethernet connection attached to 
these networks. Valid values include "Unrestricted" and "Custom". 
"Custom" enables you to configure the preferred speed. The default value 
is "Unrestricted". 
MaxSpeed (required if 
MaxSpeedType is "Custom") 
The maximum connection speed for any Ethernet connection attached to 
these networks. Valid values range from 100Mb to the MAX configured 
speed for the network in 100Mb increments. 
Nags (optional) 
The network access groups to which the networks belong, separated by 
commas. Do not use spaces unless they are enclosed in quotation marks. 
If nags is not specified, the network access groups are not changed. 
SmartLink (optional) 
Enables or disables the SmartLink capability for the networks. Valid values 
include "Enabled" and "Disabled". 
Labels (optional) 
Labels assigned to these networks. Labels are used in the GUI to help with 
management of large numbers of networks. Labels can be assigned in the 
CLI, but are only used in the GUI. A maximum of 16 labels can be 
assigned. 
Color (optional) 
Color assigned to these networks. Color is used in the GUI to manage 
large numbers of networks. A color can be assigned in the CLI, but is only 
used in the GUI. Red, green, blue, purple, or orange are allowed. 
Example

Item  Description 
add network 
Create a new Ethernet or FCoE network. An FCoE network is associated to an uplink 
port set. After the network is created, uplink ports can be added if the network is not 
using a shared uplink set. 
The SmartLink property is no longer supported during the creation of the network. If 
specified, it is ignored. To configure the SmartLink attribute, use the set network 
command. 
If the QoS type is set to "CustomNoFcoe", a "cannot add fabric when QoS 
configuration type is CustomNoFCoE" error message appears. For more information 
about setting the QoS type, see "qos (on page 95)."
