Virtual Connect networks 132
Use this screen to edit the properties of an existing shared uplink set, add an associated network, or delete
an associated network. This screen has the same fields as the Define Shared Uplink screen. The screen can
be edited only by users with network role permissions, but it is viewable by all authorized users.
The following table describes the fields within the Edit Shared Uplink Set screen.
For shared uplink sets using an FCoE associated network, the following restrictions apply:
• You cannot change the bay number. If you want to use a different bay number, you must delete the
FCoE network first, and then add a new one.
• If a shared uplink set is assigned to a profile, you cannot delete or edit the FCoE network.
