HP Virtual Connect Network Setup Wizard
This wizard establishes external Ethernet network connectivity for the HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure
using HP Virtual Connect. A user account with network privileges is required to perform these operations.
Use this wizard to do the following:
• Identify the MAC addresses to be used on the servers deployed within this Virtual Connect domain.
• Choose the method of handling VLAN tagged packets from servers.
• Set up connections from the HP c-Class enclosure to the external Ethernet networks.
These connections can be uplinks dedicated to a specific Ethernet network or shared uplinks that
carry multiple Ethernet networks with the use of VLAN tags.
Be sure to connect any Ethernet module stacking cables before running the setup wizard.
IMPORTANT: For a Virtual Connect environment to operate properly, all Virtual Connect
Ethernet modules within the Virtual Connect domain must be interconnected with stacking
links. HP strongly recommends that redundancy be maintained in stacking links to ensure
continued connectivity of servers to the external networks.
