Virtual Connect networks 135
• In VC 4.30 and later, the VLAN Capacity (on page 98) places restrictions on the number of networks
that can be added to a shared uplink set.
• If the domain stacking mode is configured with horizontal or primary slice stacking links, only uplink
ports on the same logical interconnect can be added.
o Based on the first uplink port selected, the list of external uplink ports is filtered to display only ports
