Creating an enet-network

To create a new Ethernet network use the add network command:

>add network MyNetworkName

Modifying enet-network properties

To modify Ethernet network properties, use the set network command:

>set network MyNetworkName state=enabled name=NewName smartlink=enabled

Displaying enet-networks

To display Ethernet network properties, use the show network command:

Summary display

>show network

Detailed display

>show network *

Single network display

> show network MyNetwork

Adding uplink ports to an enet-network

To add uplink ports to an existing Ethernet network, use the add uplinkport command:

>add uplinkport enc0:1:1 network=MyNetwork

>add uplinkport 1:1 network=MyNetwork

Modifying uplink port properties

To modify an uplink port that exists as a member of a network or shared uplink set, use the set uplinkport command:

>set uplinkport network=Network1 speed=1Gb

Creating a shared uplink port set

To create a shared uplink port set, use the add uplinkset command:

>add uplinkset MyUplinkSetName

A shared uplink set is a way of identifying HP 1/10Gb VC-Enet module uplinks that will carry multiple networks over the same cable. In this case, each Ethernet packet carries a VLAN tag (IEEE 802.1Q) to identify the specific network to which it belongs. On shared uplinks, the VLAN tags are added when packets leave the VC-enabled enclosure and are removed when packets enter the enclosure. The external Ethernet switch and the Virtual Connect Manager must be configured to use the same VLAN tag identifier (a number between 1 and 4094) for each network on the shared uplink(s).

Virtual Connect places no special restrictions on which VLAN identifiers can be used, so the VLAN IDs already used for the networks in the data center can be used on these shared uplinks. To configure a shared uplink set for VLAN tagging, obtain a list of the network names and their VLAN IDs.

A shared uplink set enables multiple ports to be included to support port aggregation and link failover with a consistent set of VLAN tags.
