4 Enter Name, Description, select the Uplink Type, and then click Next. The available options are: • Ethernet-You can pick one or more Ethernet ports across switches to form a LAG. The network can be of any type. For example: Ethernet. • FCoE-You can pick one port from an IOM and associate a single network of FCoE type. This is for FCoE connectivity that connects to another switch that connects to the FC network. For single fabric, you can have two FCoE uplink, one from each IOM. Both IOMs must have different network that is, different FCoE VLANs. NOTE: On the uplink FCoE switch, use the default fc-map (0efc00) only. • FC Gateway-You can pick one or more ports from the same IOM and associate a single network of FCoE type. This type of uplink is for connectivity to a SAN switch. For single Fabric, you can have two FC gateway uplinks one from each IOM. Both IOMs must have different network that is, different FCoE VLANs. For a given fabric, you can have at least one uplink of type FC (either of FCoE, FCDirectAttach, FC Gateway). • FC Direct Attach- You can pick one or more ports from same IOM and associate a single network of FCoE type. This type of uplink is for direct FC storage connectivity. For single fabric, user can have two FC DirectAttach uplink, one from each IOM. Both IOMs must have different networks that is, different FCoE VLANs. 5 Choose the necessary Switch Ports and select any Tagged Networks . If you are required to configure new network other than the existing ones, click Add Network and enter the network details. For more details see, Adding Network. NOTE: Do not add or apply untagged networks, as the uplink and server facing ports carrying FCoE traffic must use the default VLAN 1 as the untagged VLAN always. In FCoE, FC Gateway, or FC Direct Attach uplinks, the default VLAN 1 is applied to the server and FCoE uplink ports, automatically, while adding the tagged FCoE networks. Adding network You can use the Fabric and Configuration > Network pages to add networks. For more information, see Defining networks. To add a new network from the Fabric page: 1 From the Devices drop down, select Fabric. The Fabric page is displayed. 2 From the fabrics table, select the fabric and click View Details.
