Configuring Uplink Sets

In IBP firmware version, the external/uplink ports are defined in so-called Uplink Sets. In the
group definitions in IBP these Uplinks Sets are used to define the external connections. An
"Uplink Set" is defined as a set of 1 to n external (uplink) ports, which is be used in port group
definitions to connect a group of server blades to the customer's LAN.
As an Uplink Set is created, two link aggregations will be created at the same time. One link
aggregation is for active and the other is for the backup. A port participates to an Uplink Set
and it will become the member of the active link aggregation automatically. User could assign
a port to participate to the backup link aggregation by manually.
In this chapter, it will describe how to configure the Uplink Sets and how to move the ports from
active link aggregation to backup one.

Creating Uplink Sets

This section will describe how to create Uplink Sets.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an uplink set and assign port
to this uplink set:
Command
Step 1 configure
Step 2 uplink-set uplinkSetName
Step 3 interface interface-id
Step 4 uplink-set uplinkSetName
Step 5 exit
Step 6 exit
Step 7 show uplink-set [uplinkSetName]
To create an uplink set, use uplink-set global configuration command. To assign an
external port to the uplink set, use uplink-set interface configuration command. To display
the uplink set, use show uplink-set privileged EXEC command.
In this example, uplink-set up1 is created and interfaces 0/41 and 0/42 are assigned to this
uplink set.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
To create a empty uplink set
Specify the external physical port that you
want to set to the uplink set, and enter
interface configuration mode.
To make this interface to be the member
of the uplink set.
Return to global configuration mode.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration.
