Glossary
external port
The Ethernet connectors (10GBASE-CX4 and RJ45) on the faceplate of the VC-Enet module labeled as
ports 1-8, X1, and X2.
shared server links
A feature that enables each server link to be shared among multiple networks with the use of VLAN
tagging.
shared uplink port
An Ethernet uplink port that carries the traffic for multiple Virtual Connect networks. Each associated
Virtual Connect network is mapped to a specific VLAN on the external connection and appropriate VLAN
tags are removed or added as Ethernet packets enter or leave the Virtual Connect domain.
shared uplink port set
A set of Ethernet uplinks that are used together to provide improved throughput and availability to a
group of associated Virtual Connect networks. Each associated Virtual Connect network is mapped to a
specific VLAN on the external connection and appropriate VLAN tags are removed or added as Ethernet
packets enter or leave the Virtual Connect domain.
Smart Link
A feature that, when enabled, configures a Virtual Connect network so that if all external uplinks lose link
to external switches, Virtual Connect will drop the Ethernet link on all local server blade Ethernet ports
connected to that network.
stacking port
A VC-Enet module external port used to connect to other VC-Enet modules within an active Virtual Connect
domain. Stacking ports are automatically identified by the VC-Enet modules. The port number (port ID) is
lit amber.
uplink port
An external port that is configured within Virtual Connect for use as a connection to external networking
equipment. Uplink ports are defined within Virtual Connect by the enclosure name, interconnect bay
containing the module, and the port number. The port number (port ID) for uplink ports is lit green.
uplink port set
A set of uplinks that are used together to provide improved throughput and availability for a single Virtual
Connect network connection to external networking equipment.
