1. Select the fabric uplink from the list and click Edit Ports.
2. Edit the networks associated with uplink interfaces and click Update.
The system displays the uplink interface edit success message.
Delete an uplink
You can delete a user-created uplink:
1. Select the uplink from the displayed list, and click Delete.
2. Click Delete to confirm.
Configure networks and routing configuration
You can set up networks and routing configuration.
NOTE: Networks that are created by the OMNI user interface are considered Manual.
The OMNI vCenter PortGroup VLAN automation process does not add Manual networks to auto uplinks, and does not remove
them from SmartFabric. Add Manual networks to uplinks using the OMNI portal if needed. The OMNI VLAN automation process
uses Manual networks for ServerInterfaces. If you are using the VLANs for the OMNI registered vCenter PortGroup, it
is not recommended to use the OMNI portal to create a network. OMNI automation manages those VLANs or networks by itself.
For complete information, see OMNI vCenter integration.
You can configure the following types of networks:
● General purpose network
● L3 routed interfaces (for L3 profiles only)
● Multi rack L3 VLAN (for L3 profiles only)
● VLAN networks (for L2 and L3 profiles)
● VXLAN networks (for L2 and L3 profiles)
Configure networks
You can manage general purpose, multi rack L3 VLAN, VXLAN, VLAN networks, and L3 routed interfaces.
From SmartFabric, select the instance > Network. From Network tab, you can create, edit, and delete the networks.
