internal network switch.

Network Uplink

Select one of the following values for Sled network uplink configuration Property:

• Standard (aggregated): Uplink configuration where all four IOM uplink ports are configured in a single

trunk group and all LOMs are mapped to that group. This is selected by default.

• Network adapter isolation (enhanced security): Uplink configuration similar to standard, but routing

between local nodes is not allowed.

• Isolated networks: Uplink configuration where each node’s LOM1 is mapped to IOM A1 and LOM2 is

mapped to IOM A2.
