Virtual Connect networks 132
This screen allows you to create a copy of a shared uplink set. This can facilitate the setup of an Active/Active
shared uplink set configuration. All of the associated networks and their properties are duplicated during the
copy. A new name for the shared uplink set must be selected and all networks must be renamed using a
common renaming scheme.
To copy a shared uplink set:
1. Enter a name for the new shared uplink set in the Shared Uplink Set Name field.
2. Create new network names for the associated networks (VLANs). To be renamed, all networks must
share a common part of the naming convention. For example, if the original network names end in –A,
you can replace that portion of the name with –B for the copied networks.
a. Select an option in the Replace pull-down menu:
— all—Replaces all instances of the search string with the replacement string
— first—Replaces the first instance of the search string with the replacement string
— last—Replaces the last instance of the search string with the replacement string
b. Enter the search string in the first text box.
c. Enter the replacement string in the second text box.
d. Compare the side-by-side scrolling lists of associated networks to be sure that each network is
renamed properly.
Notes:
o The search string and the replacement string can be different lengths.
o The search string must be found in all associated network names.
