Configuring the Virtual Connect domain using the CLI 103

IMPORTANT:

If you plan to use RDP for RedHat Linux installation and also plan to use User-

or HP-defined MAC addresses, you must import the enclosure before running RDP.

NOTE:

After any server profiles are deployed using a selected MAC address range, that

range cannot be changed until all server profiles are deleted.

Creating an enet-network

To create a new Ethernet network use the add network command:

>add network MyNetworkName

Modifying enet-network properties

To modify Ethernet network properties, use the set network command:

>set network MyNetworkName state=enabled name=NewName smartlink=enabled

Displaying enet-networks

To display Ethernet network properties, use the show network command:

Summary display
>show network

Detailed display
>show network *

Single network display
> show network MyNetwork

Adding uplink ports to an enet-network

To add uplink ports to an existing Ethernet network, use the add uplinkport command:

>add uplinkport enc0:1:1 network=MyNetwork

Modifying uplink port properties

To modify an uplink port that exists as a member of a network or shared uplink set, use the set

uplinkport command:

>set uplinkport network=Network1 speed=1Gb

Creating a shared uplink port set

To create a shared uplink port set, use the add uplinkset command:

>add uplinkset MyUplinkSetName

A shared uplink set is a way of identifying #*!networks over the same cable. In this case, each Ethernet packet carries a VLAN tag (IEEE 802.1Q) to
identify the specific network to which it belongs. On shared uplinks, the VLAN tags are added when

packets leave the VC-enabled enclosure and are removed when packets enter the enclosure. The external
Ethernet switch and the Virtual Connect Manager must be configured to use the same VLAN tag identifier
(a number between 1 and 4094) for each network on the shared uplink(s).
