Selecting the Uplink Failure Detection(UFD) detects loss of upstream connectivity and indicates this state to the servers connected to the switch. UFD associates a set of downstream interfaces with the uplink interfaces. In the event of uplink failure, the switch operationally disables the corresponding downstream interfaces. This allows the downstream servers to select alternate paths for upstream connectivity available. 6. Choose the necessary Switch Ports and select any Tagged Networks .
