Uplink ports and uplink port states
Physical port of the interconnect module is assigned to the uplink set.
When adding uplink ports, a menu of available uplink ports is displayed.
Port states
The following are the possible states for the uplink port.
- Linked
Uplink port is linked with, typically, a top-of-rack port.
- Linked standby
Ethernet networks status. For FCoE uplink sets, this state indicates that there are only FCoE networks and no Ethernet networks present in the uplink set. If there is a defined Ethernet network in the uplink set, the status displays Linked active, FCoE active.
- Unlinked
Uplink port is not linked with, typically, a top-of-rack port.
- Disabled
The port has been disabled from the Edit interconnect screen.
- FCoE
Active if the FCoE network has been defined, uplinks are connected, and an FCoE-capable switch has been configured correctly.
None if the FCoE network has been defined and uplinks are connected, but the switch is not FCoE-capable or has not been configured correctly.
