What to Do Next
To customize fabric port channel connectivity for a specific chassis, configure the chassis connectivity policy.
Configuring the Chassis Connectivity Policy
Chassis Connectivity Policy
The chassis connectivity policy determines the whether a specific chassis is included in a fabric port channel
after chassis discovery. This policy is helpful for users who want to configure one or more chassis differently
from what is specified in the global chassis discovery policy. The chassis connectivity policy also allows for
different connectivity modes per fabric interconnect, further expanding the level of control offered with regards
to chassis connectivity.
By default, the chassis connectivity policy is set to global. This means that connectivity control is configured
when the chassis is newly discovered, using the settings configured in the chassis discovery policy. Once the
chassis is discovered, the chassis connectivity policy controls whether the connectivity control is set to none
or port channel.
The chassis connectivity policy is created by Cisco UCS Manager only when the hardware configuration
supports fabric port channels. At this time, only the 6200 series fabric interconnects and the 2200 series
IOMs support this feature. For all other hardware combinations, Cisco UCS Manager does not create a
chassis connectivity policy.
Note
Configuring a Chassis Connectivity Policy
Changing the connectivity mode for a chassis could result in decreased VIF namespace.
Changing the connectivity mode for a chassis results in chassis reacknowledgement. Traffic may be
disrupted during this time.
Caution
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the Equipment tab.
Step 2
On the Equipment tab, expand Equipment > Chassis.
Step 3
Click the chassis for which you want to configure the connectivity between theIOMs and fabric interconnects.
Step 4
In the Work pane, click the Connectivity Policy tab.
Step 5
For each IOM in the chassis, choose one of the following values in the Admin State field for the chassis and
fabric connectivity:
• None—No links are grouped in a port channel
