SFS supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 uplinks. Using this wizard, you can: • Create a Layer 2 or Layer 3 uplink. • Assign the ports to the uplink. • Associate a network or routing profile with the created uplink. NOTE: Before creating an uplink, ensure that the external network is configured with L2 or L3 setup. From the SFS GUI Uplinks tab, you can view the list of all the uplinks in the fabric. The page displays the name, description, types of media, uplink, and LAG information of the configured uplinks. You can also delete an uplink from this tab. To delete an uplink configuration, select an uplink from the list, and click DELETE. NOTE: When you delete an uplink, the network and route profile that are associated with the uplink are not deleted. NOTE: The Uplinks page does not display the network and route profile that are associated with the uplinks. To view the details, use the show smartfabric uplinks command in the switch. Configure Layer 2 uplink To connect with another L2 network, create a L2 uplink and associate a network with the uplink. To do so: 1. Launch the Create Uplink for External Network Connectivity wizard. 2. Select the Uplink Connectivity as Layer 2. NOTE: L2 uplinks are created only on leaf switches. 3. Create a L2 uplink by providing the name and description, and click NEXT. 4. Select a rack and an interface or interfaces from the leaf switches to associate to the uplinks. NOTE: The list shows only the available interfaces including breakout interfaces. 5. Select the static or dynamic LAG based on the configuration setup in the external network, and click NEXT. NOTE: To form a LAG on the leaf switches, select an interface or interfaces that are of the same speed. 6. Associate the networks with the selected interfaces: • Add multiple tagged networks or a single untagged network, or both. • Add the network from the displayed list or create a general purpose network using the ADD NETWORK. 7. Select Yes or No to integrate the networks that are created automatically in the fabric through vCenter, on this uplink. 8. Click FINISH. From the SFS GUI Network Profiles tab, you can view the list of all networks and virtual networks configured in the SFS. The page has NETWORKS and VIRTUAL NETWORKS tabs display the details of respective network profiles including the network name, description, network type.
