About multiple logical interconnect groups in an enclosure group

Multiple logical interconnect groups can be associated with one enclosure group.

The advantage of configuring multiple logical interconnect groups to an enclosure group is to create an air-gap separation between Ethernet networks and allow the isolation of network traffic.

If you want to use more than one interconnect bay set in an enclosure group, you must configure multiple logical interconnect groups.

Logical interconnect group requirements

  • Interconnects in a logical interconnect group cannot span across interconnect bay sets. Thus, a logical interconnect group can be specified for bays 1 and 4, or 2 and 5, or 3 and 6.

  • Ensure that a master interconnect such as an HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module for HPE Synergy is available for each interconnect bay set side.

  • You must choose a redundancy mode for each logical interconnect group. Once the redundancy mode for a logical interconnect group is set, it cannot be changed.

For uplink sets:
  • Only QSFP ports 1–6 are eligible ports.

  • QSFP 7 and QSFP 8 are reserved for logical interconnect stacking port connectivity.
