A window is displayed to select additional options.

Server port connections to virtual networks are defined on the Define Server Profile screen (on page

146

).

Previous to Virtual Connect Manager v1.31, each server port could only be connected to a single virtual

network. With v1.31 and higher, each server port can be connected to multiple virtual networks, each

using a unique server VLAN ID for virtual network mapping.
To use this shared server links feature, select 'Multiple Networks...' from the drop-down list under Ethernet

Network Connections (Physical ports). This option is available only if the 'Map VLAN Tags' option is

selected on the Ethernet Settings (Advanced Settings) screen (on page

115

). When the 'Multiple

Networks' option is selected, a separate window is displayed to enable the defining and editing of virtual

networks and VID mappings.

Defining server VLAN mappings

Forced VLAN Mappings
If the 'Force same VLAN mappings as Shared Uplink Sets' option is selected, server VLAN mappings are

the same as the shared uplink set VLAN mappings. Users can choose only from a list of shared uplink sets

when selecting Multiple Networks. After selecting a shared uplink set from the drop-down list, a list of

vNets that belong to the chosen shared uplink set is displayed. Next to each network is a checkbox to
allow the user to select or deselect individual networks to be connected to the server. If the shared uplink

set has more than 28 networks, only the first 28 are selected to enforce the maximum number of VLAN

mappings supported on a server.
The server VLAN mappings are the same as those used on the shared uplink set, which are automatically
displayed and cannot be changed. One of the networks can also be selected as the 'Untagged' network,
