To access this screen, do one of the following:
•
Click the Edit link for a shared uplink set on the Shared Uplink Sets (External Connections) screen (on page 134).•
Enter a shared uplink set name in the Find Configuration Items search field in the left navigation tree, and then select the shared uplink set.Use this screen to edit the properties of an existing shared uplink set, add an associated network, or delete an associated network. This screen has the same fields as the Define Shared Uplink screen. The screen can be edited only by users with network role permissions, but it is viewable by all authorized users.
The following table describes the fields within the Edit Shared Uplink Set screen.
For shared uplink sets using an FCoE associated network, the following restrictions apply:
•
You cannot change the bay number. If you want to use a different bay number, you must delete the FCoE network first, and then add a new one.•
If a shared uplink set is assigned to a profile, you cannot delete or edit the FCoE network.Field name Description
Ethernet Shared External Uplink 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—There is a physical connection to a VC module and a switch. Traffic is active on this link.
• Linked-Standby—There is a physical connection to a VC module and a switch. Currently there is no active traffic on this link.
• 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.
Field name Description
more information about possible causes, see "Port status conditions (on page 261)."
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.
Action Perform delete operations
Associated FCoE Network (VLAN tagged)
Allows addition of FCoE network. See "Defining an FCoE network (on page 129)."
Network Name Displays the name of the associated FCoE network
VLAN ID Displays the VLAN ID number
Associated Networks (VLAN tagged)
Network Name Displays the name of the associated networks
VLAN ID Displays the VLAN ID number
Native Select whether native VLAN is enabled (checked) or disabled (unchecked). Smart Link Select whether Smart Link is enabled (checked) or disabled (unchecked). Private Network Select whether to designate (checked) or not designate (unchecked) the
network as a private network.
Action Perform edit and delete operations
Connection Mode Connection mode of the uplink ports for this network. For a description of the connection modes, see "Defining a shared uplink set." This mode cannot be changed for shared uplink sets using an associated FCoE network. LACP Timer Applicable if Connection Mode is Auto. Shows the LACP timer configuration
for this network. This setting controls the requested frequency of LACP control messages on a LACP capable interface. The domain default option shows the current default.
The following table describes the available actions in the Edit Shared Uplink Set screen. Clicking another link in the pull-down menu or left navigation tree causes current edits that have not been applied to be lost.

Set the Port Role to primary or secondary
Click the down arrow in the Port Role column and select Primary or Secondary. Only available if the connection mode is set to Failover. This setting cannot be changed for shared uplink sets with an associated FCoE network.
Change the uplink interface port speed or disable a port
Click the pull-down box under Speed/Duplex, and then select a setting. For shared uplink sets with an associated FCoE network, this settings is always Auto.
Delete a port Click the Delete link in the Action column, or left-click to select a port, right-click to display a menu, and then select Delete Port.
Task Action
Change connection mode Select Auto or Failover. For shared uplink sets with an associated FCoE network, this setting is unavailable.
