15.3 Managing Ethernet networks
When you add an Ethernet network to the appliance, you are adding a VLAN to the configuration.
VLANs allow multiple networks to use the same physical connections. Servers can specify networks
without knowledge of the underlying hardware configuration.
When you add an Ethernet network, you might also want to an existing network set or add it to a
new network set. For example, by adding the Ethernet network to an existing network set, all servers
that have connections to the network set can access the added network without requiring you to
change the server profiles.
For Ethernet connections, a logical uplink is a way to identify interconnect module uplinks that
carry multiple networks over the same cable. When you add a network, you must also add it to
an existing uplink set or a new uplink set.
You can manage networks and network sets from the UI Networks and Network Sets screens or
by using the REST APIs.
IMPORTANT:
HP recommends that you back up the appliance after you make configuration
changes to networks. For information about backing up the appliance, see
