Uplink Set Name

Descriptive name for the shared uplink set. Do not use spaces.

External Uplink Ports

 

Port

Enclosure, bay, and port number

Port Role

Displays whether the port is designated as primary or secondary. For shared

 

uplink sets with an associated FCoE network, this is N/A.

Port Status

Shows the link status, link speed, and connectivity of the port.

 

Linked-Active—The VC port is physically connected to a switch.

 

Networks associated with the port are assigned to a profile and the port

 

is selected to actively transmit traffic.

 

Linked-Standby—The VC port is physically connected to a switch.

 

Networks associated with the port are not assigned to a profile or the

 

port is not selected to actively transmit traffic.

 

Unlinked—There is no physical VC module or switch connection.

 

FCoE Active—An FCoE network has been defined, uplinks are

 

connected, and an FCoE-capable switch has been correctly configured.

 

No FCoE—An FCoE network has been defined, uplinks are connected,

 

but an FCoE-capable switch has not been configured, or the connection

 

is to a non-FCoE switch.

 

If the port is unlinked and no connectivity exists, the cause is displayed. For

 

more information about possible causes, see "Port status conditions (on

 

page 274)."

 

 

ConnectorType

The type of connector on the port; for example, RJ-45

Connected To

If the individual port is connected to a switch that supports LLDP, the switch

 

LLDP system name or management IP address and switch port number

 

appear. A link is provided to obtain more information about the far-end

 

switch port.

 

 

PID

PID status icon (on or off) for the port

Speed/Duplex

Pull-down menu to specify the speed and duplex (where applicable) of the

 

uplink port. Half-duplex operations are not supported by the VC-Enet

 

module. For shared uplink sets using an associated FCoE network, the

 

Speed/Duplex is always Auto.
