Scenario 2:1 - Flex-10 - VLAN Tagging (802.1Q) with Multiple Shared Uplink Sets (SUS) and Mapped VLANs - Windows
2003/2008 107
Figure 2-7
Associated Networks.
Summary Note:
In this scenario we have created two independent Share Uplink Sets (SUS), each
originating from the opposite VC-Modules, by doing so we provide the ability to create separate and
redundant connections out of VC. When we create the server profiles, you will see how the NICs will
connect to VLANs accessed through the opposite VC module, which provides the ability to create an Active
/ Active uplink scenario. Alternatively, we could have created a single SUS and assigned both of these
uplink ports to the same SUS, however, this would have provided an Active/ Standby uplink scenario,
example below.

Example of an Active / Standby SUS.
Defining a Server Profile
We will create a server profile with two server NICs.
Each server NIC will connect to a specific network.
•
On the main menu, select Define, then Server Profile
•
Create a server profile called “Server-1”
•
In the Network Port 1 drop down box, select PROD-A-1
•
In the Network Port 2 drop down box, select PROD-A-2
•
Do not select a FC SAN connection
