server NIC ports.

Virtual Connect also supports a feature called “SmartLink” that is enabled on vNets used by servers

with NIC Teaming\bonding enabled. The SmartLink feature will disable the VC downlinks (server

NIC ports) whenever all the VC uplinks for the associated vNet are unplugged. Basically, the

SmartLink feature propagates a link-down event of a vNet’s uplinks to the server NICs in the team.

This allows the NIC Teaming software to failover from one vNet (with all failed uplinks) to

another vNet with functional uplinks. SmartLink is only used in NIC Teaming configurations when

the NIC ports in the Team are connected to different vNets (see “Figure 12. VC Domain Showing

Advanced Usage of vNets and EtherChannel” for an example). HP recommends that SmartLink

only be enabled on a vNet if ALL server NIC ports assigned to the vNet are using NIC Teaming

and are connected to at least one other vNet.

For additional information on NIC Teaming for Windows, see link in the “Additional Resources”

section at the end of this paper.

Virtual Connect and Cisco Terminology Comparison

In addition to using many traditional networking terms, Virtual Connect also introduces some new

networking terminology. Some new terms are needed to properly describe VC’s functionality since

VC represents a new way of interconnecting blade servers to the core network. To aide in quickly

understanding these Virtual Connect networking terms, the following table compares VC and Cisco

networking terms.
