In VC 4.30 and later, the VLAN Capacity (on page 98) places restrictions on the number of networks that can be added to a shared uplink set.

If the domain stacking mode is configured with horizontal or primary slice stacking links, only uplink ports on the same logical interconnect can be added.

o Based on the first uplink port selected, the list of external uplink ports is filtered to display only ports in the same logical interconnect.

o Remove all uplink ports to reset the filtering.

For more information on the domain stacking mode, see "Stacking links ("Stacking Links screen" on page 231)."

The following table describes the fields within the Define Shared Uplink Set screen.
