VMware ESX 78
Defining a new Shared Uplink Set via the CLI
#Create Shared Uplink Set "VLAN-Trunk-1" and configure an uplink on VC Module 1, Ports 1 and 2
add uplinkset VLAN-Trunk-1
add uplinkport enc0:1:1 Uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-1 speed=auto
add uplinkport enc0:1:2 Uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-1 speed=auto
# Create Networks VLAN_101 and VLAN_104 for Shared Uplink Set "VLAN-TRUNK-1"
add network PROD-A-1 uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-1 VLanID=101
Set Network PROD-A-1 SmartLink=Enabled
add network PROD-B-1 uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-1 VLanID=102
Set Network PROD-B-1 SmartLink=Enabled

Set Network PROD-C-1 SmartLink=Enabled
add network PROD-D-1 uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-1 VLanID=104
Set Network PROD-D-1 SmartLink=Enabled
#Create Shared Uplink Set "VLAN-Trunk-2" and configure an uplink on VC Module 2, Ports 1 and 2
add uplinkset VLAN-Trunk-2
add uplinkport enc0:2:1 Uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-2 speed=auto
add uplinkport enc0:2:2 Uplinkset=VLAN-Trunk-2 speed=auto
# Create Networks VLAN_101 and VLAN_104 for Shared Uplink Set "VLAN-TRUNK-2"
