After the networks are added, when you select a network in the

master pane

, you can see details

about that network in the details pane. For each of the networks you created:

The value for Uplink Set is none because you have not yet defined an uplink set that uses this
network. You will define the logical interconnect and its uplink sets in

“Creating a logical

interconnect group and its uplink sets” (page 264)

.

The value for Used by is none because there are no server profiles using this network. You
will define a server profile in

“Creating a server profile to use as a template” (page 270)

.

The following figure shows the Networks screen after you add the Fibre Channel networks.
