(Optional) Add an Uplink to a Public Cloud (EDR)
When you create a public cloud, you assign one or more gateway ports. Uplinks
are assigned to gateway ports, which are automatically learned and added to the
GUI when the switch is managed by Oracle Fabric Manager.
-
Create a public cloud.
See Create a Public Cloud (EDR).
-
In the Public Clouds summary, select the cloud that requires the
uplink.
Information for the cloud is displayed in the details frame.
-
Select the Uplinks tab.
-
Click the plus sign to add an uplink.
-
Select one or more uplinks to add.
-
For an HA uplink, select another uplink to associate it with the public
cloud.
When selecting the HA uplinks, make sure that the uplink ports have the
same attributes. For example, make sure that both ports operate at the same
speed, have the same MTU, and so on.
Note -
If PVI VNICs are configured in a range of VLANs, be aware that all PVI
VNICs in the VLAN will keep the VLAN mode (trunk, which
is the default, or access) that is set when the VLAN
range is configured. After this point, all traffic from the switch port
to the PVI VNIC will remain in this mode. As a result, you cannot mix or
overlap the other mode VLANs in the VLAN range on the switch. For
example, if you create VLAN range 1–100 with trunk mode, PVI VNICs
in VLANs in that range remain trunk mode. You could not then create an
access-mode PVI VNIC in for VLAN 100. If needed, you can use a host
tool, for example vconfig, to do some
customization of the VLAN behavior for a host.
