Configure and manage uplinks
Configure an uplink and manage the uplinks that are available in the SmartFabric instance.
Using the Uplinks tab, you can:
● View the list of uplinks created in the SmartFabric instance.
● Create an uplink.
● Edit network and port configuration for an uplink.
● Delete a created uplink.
You can create uplinks with available interfaces which are not part of an existing uplink, server connected ports, part of a fabric
automation, or jump port.
There are two types of uplinks—L2 and L3, and there are two types of L3 uplinks—L3 VLAN and L3 routed interface. Once you
have created an uplink, you can then associate networks to the uplink and change or modify interfaces. These user-managed
uplinks require configuration of networks through SmartFabric vCenter. From the SmartFabric instance, select Uplink to view
the uplinks summary.
NOTE: If you delete an uplink, any unused networks and ports can be used for future use.
Create L2 Uplink
You can create an uplink by selecting the fabric with a unique name, and select the interfaces, and networks to create a user
uplink.
1. Select the SmartFabric instance > Uplink, and click Create.
2. Enter the uplink port type as L2, a Name, an optional description, then click Next.
