• An interconnect must be a member of a logical interconnect. For an interconnect to be usable,
it must be installed in an enclosure and must be defined as part of a logical interconnect. Each
physical interconnect can contribute physical uplink ports to an uplink set.
• Firmware baselines and firmware updates for physical interconnects are managed by the
logical interconnect.
Relationship to other resources
An interconnect resource is associated with the following resources in the resource summary
diagram (page 32):
• Exactly one enclosure
• Exactly one logical interconnect, and, through that logical interconnect, exactly one logical

2.12 Logical interconnect groups
The logical interconnect group represents the physical and logical configuration of connections to
data center networks for each logical interconnect in the group. This configuration includes the
following:
• The interconnect types, interconnect configurations, and interconnect downlink capabilities
• The stacking mode, which reserves the interconnect ports to be used for stacking links
• The uplink sets, which map uplink ports to Ethernet or Fibre Channel networks
• The available networks
In the resource model:
• A logical interconnect group is associated with an enclosure group instead of an individual
enclosure.
• Every enclosure that is a member of an enclosure group has the same network connectivity
as all other enclosures in the enclosure group because their logical interconnects are identically
configured.
• You can create a logical interconnect group either automatically during an enclosure add
operation, or independently of enclosure add operations. If you add an enclosure without
specifying an existing enclosure group, the appliance creates both an enclosure group and
