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 286)

.

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

“Creating a server profile to use as a template”

(page 295)

. You will create a storage system in

“Adding a storage system to the data

center” (page 306)

.

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

A.5.3.2 Configuring the Ethernet networks

1.

From the

main menu

, select Networks, and then click + Create network in the

master pane

.

The Create network dialog box opens.

2.

Create the ESXi management and vMotion networks:
a.

For Name, enter mgmt 1131.

b.

For Type, select Ethernet.

c.

For VLAN, select Tagged.

d.

For VLAN ID, enter 1131.

e.

For Purpose, select Management.

f.

For Preferred bandwidth and Maximum bandwidth, use the default values.

g.

Select Smart link, but do not select Private network.
Smart link specifies that if all of the uplinks to this network within an uplink set fail, server
connections that specify this network report an error. This feature enables the server
software to detect and respond to an uplink failure. It can be helpful when using certain
server network teaming (bonding) configurations.

h.

Click Create + to create another network.
The appliance creates the network and opens the Create network dialog box. This dialog
box uses the configuration values you selected in the preceding steps, except for the name
and VLAN ID.
Behind the Create network dialog box, you might see the networks you create listed in
the

master pane

of the Networks screen as those networks are added.

i.

For Name, enter vmotion 1132.

j.

For VLAN ID, enter 1132.
