Set preferred connection speed. This value is the default speed for server profile connections mapped to this network. The server administrator can override this setting on an individual profile connection.
Set maximum connection speed. This value is the maximum speed for server profile connections mapped to this network. This speed limits the maximum port speed from the server to the network connection associated with the multiple networks.

Defining an FCoE network
Create an FCoE network by creating a Shared Uplink Set, and then adding an FCoE network to it. An FCoE network cannot be added without a Shared Uplink Set.
Prior to the VC v4.01 release, VCM support of FCoE did not extend outside of the enclosure. All FCoE traffic was converted to native FC prior to reaching VC interconnect uplinks. This required the interconnects to be connected directly to a fibre channel switch.

Guidelines•No congestion notification (QCN) support is implemented. Only direct connections between VC modules and external FCoE bridge ports are supported.
•Up to 32 FCoE networks can be associated with any single set of uplink ports.Virtual Connect networks 139
