Solved: Re: How to tell new created vLAN to use new created Uplink Port Channel

Nevy · ‎10-11-2018

Good morning,

we have some UCS Domains administered by UCS Central2.0(1c). We have configured 2 new additional Uplink Ports and created in each FI a new Port Channel (nr 2). After that we have created new vLAN. My question is for my understanding or how to configure the next steps: How can should I configure the new vLAN / vNIC to take traffic through the new created Channel Port?e.g.If I assign to Service Profile Template the new vNIC template (with new created vLAN) the Server will have additional NIC for a new Network. The NIC or vNIC Or VLAN shoul be combined with the new created Port Channel, or shouldn't be? May be I have less knowledge about Routing or how is the Networking process in UCS .

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Nevzat

You want to setup a Disjoint L2 Network.

We have a number of these already. We never used the Pin Groups. We just did Step 5 on Page 5 after you have the separate Portchannels setup.
