Configuring The uplinks on Each I/O Module Independently

  1. On the I/ O Module Configuration page, select the Configure Uplinks check box.
  2. Select Configuring The uplinks on Each I/O Module Independently option.
  3. In the Configure Uplinks area, perform one of the following actions:

    • Select the Configure the uplinks on each I/O Module Independently check box to configure different ports as uplink ports in each I/O module.

      The table lists ports that are available in each I/O module in separate columns.

    • Clear the Configure the uplinks on each I/O Module Independently check box to configure the same ports as uplink ports across all I/O modules.

      The table displays the following information:

      • IO modules (Model Name) that is present in each fabric.

      • Ports that are available in each IO module.

  4. In the table, select the Quadport Mode check box if you want to run the port in Quad mode. When a 40 GbE port is run in quad mode, it provides four 10 GB Ethernet interfaces that number sequentially starting with the port number of the 40GbE interface. For example, when Quadport mode is enabled on the GbE port number 33, it makes four 10GbE links with the port numbers 33, 34, 35, and 36.
  5. From the drop-down list next to the corresponding port numbers, select the Uplink that you want to configure on each port.
    • NOTE: Uplink is an interconnect (also called port-channel, or grouping of ports) which is created on a switch by creating a connection to other switches in a networking environment. ASM can configure uplinks on MXLs, I/O Aggregators, FN410S, and FN2210S switches (I/O modules).
  6. Click Next.
    • NOTE: Uplink is basically external connection out of the switch to chassis to customer network environment. Customer is still require to configure corresponding port on the top of rack switch and uplink as well . ASM only configure the chassis.
