RackSwitch G8000 Application Guide
Configuring UFD
Figure 10-1 shows a basic UFD configuration. In this example, NIC 1 is the primary network adapter; NIC 2 is a non-primary adapter. NIC 1 is connected to port 16 and NIC 2 is connected to port 17. Port 2 is connected to a Layer 2/3 routing switch.
The following procedure pertains to the example shown in Figure 10-1.
1.Configure Network Adapter Teaming on the servers.
2.Assign the Link to Monitor (LtM) ports.
RS G8000 (config)# ufd fdp ltm port 2
3.Assign the Link to Disable (LtD) ports.
RS G8000 (config)# ufd fdp ltd port 16
4.Turn on Uplink Failure Detection (UFD).
RS G8000 (config)# ufd fdp enable
RS G8000 (config)# ufd enable
Monitoring UFD
The UFD information menu displays the current status of the LtM and LtD, and their member ports or trunks. For example:
RS G8000# show ufd
