Item Description
add network
Create a new Ethernet or FCoE network. An FCoE network is associated to an uplink
port set. After the network is created, uplink ports can be added if the network is not
using a shared uplink set.
The SmartLink property is no longer supported during the creation of the network. If
specified, it is ignored. To configure the SmartLink attribute, use the set network
command.
If the QoS type is set to "CustomNoFcoe", a "cannot add fabric when QoS
configuration type is CustomNoFCoE" error message appears. For more information
about setting the QoS type, see "qos (on page 97)."
