• Add, edit, or delete an uplink set.
• Change Ethernet settings such as:
Fast MAC cache failover.◦
◦ MAC refresh interval.
◦ IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) snooping and idle timeout interval.
◦ Loop and pause flood protection.
• Configure a port to monitor network traffic.
• Create a logical interconnect support dump file.
• Enable and disable physical ports.
• Manage SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) access and trap destinations.
• Manage the frequency of control messages through the LACP timer.
• Reapply the logical interconnect configuration to its physical interconnects.
• Redistribute logins for uplink failover on a Fibre Channel network.
• Update the logical interconnect configuration from the logical interconnect group.

19.2.3 About logical interconnects
A logical interconnect is a single administrative entity that consists of the configuration for the
interconnects in an enclosure, which includes:
• The uplink sets, which connect to data center networks.
• The mapping of networks to physical uplink ports, which is defined by the uplink sets for a
logical interconnect.
• The downlink ports, which connect through the enclosure midplane to the servers in the
enclosure.
• The connections between interconnects, which are called stacking links. Stacking links can be
internal cables (through the enclosure) or external cables between the stacking ports of
interconnects.
For a server administrator, a logical interconnect represents the available networks through the
interconnect uplinks and the interconnect downlink capabilities through a physical server’s interfaces.
For a network administrator, a logical interconnect represents an Ethernet stacking domain,
aggregation layer connectivity, stacking topology, network reachability, statistics, and
troubleshooting tools.
