Field name Description
Set
Uplink Set Name
Descriptive name for the shared uplink set. Do not use spaces.
External Uplink Ports
Port
Enclosure, bay, and port number
Port Role
Displays whether the port is designated as primary or secondary. For shared
uplink sets with an associated FCoE network, this is N/A.
Port Status
Shows the link status, link speed, and connectivity of the port.
•
Linked-Active—The VC port is physically connected to a switch.
Networks associated with the port are assigned to a profile and the port
is selected to actively transmit traffic.
•
Linked-Standby—The VC port is physically connected to a switch.
Networks associated with the port are not assigned to a profile or the
port is not selected to actively transmit traffic.
•
Unlinked—There is no physical VC module or switch connection.
•
FCoE Active—An FCoE network has been defined, uplinks are
connected, and an FCoE-capable switch has been correctly configured.
•
No FCoE—An FCoE network has been defined, uplinks are connected,
but an FCoE-capable switch has not been configured, or the connection
is to a non-FCoE switch.
If the port is unlinked and no connectivity exists, the cause is displayed. For
more information about possible causes, see "Port status conditions (on
page 274)."
ConnectorType
The type of connector on the port; for example, RJ-45
Connected To
If the individual port is connected to a switch that supports LLDP, the switch
LLDP system name or management IP address and switch port number
appear. A link is provided to obtain more information about the far-end
switch port.
PID
PID status icon (on or off) for the port
Speed/Duplex
Pull-down menu to specify the speed and duplex (where applicable) of the
uplink port. Half-duplex operations are not supported by the VC-Enet
module. For shared uplink sets using an associated FCoE network, the
Speed/Duplex is always Auto.
