stop ethernet uplink port will cause appliance port down

[dennis.dai]

Dear All,

I would like to make sure what kind of network traffic will communicate internal in FI.

I disabled the uplink port, and found appliance port was also down.

Does appliance port need to route to uplink port and then back to UCS server ?

Thank you for clarification.

Best Regards,

Dennis Dai

Expected behavior.  By default, if there are no uplinks online & fwd, then all southbound links (server links and appliance ports) will also go down.

See Abi's explanation here for details how to modify this behavior.

In short you have to change the Network Control policy of the Appliance port from the Equipment Tab.
