Cisco UCS Manager, release 1.4(2) and earlier did not enforce the Action on Uplink Fail property for
those types of non-VM-FEX capable converged network adapters mentioned above. If the Action on
Uplink Fail property was set to link-down, Cisco UCS Manager would ignore this setting and instead
issue a warning. In the current version of Cisco UCS Manager this setting is enforced. Therefore, if your
implementation includes one of those converged network adapters and the adapter is expected to handle
both Ethernet and FCoE traffic, we recommend that you configure the Action on Uplink Fail property
with a value of warning.
Please note that this configuration may result in an Ethernet teaming driver not being able to detect a link
failure when the border port goes down.
Note
MAC Registration Mode
In Cisco UCS Manager, releases1.4 and earlier, MAC addresses wereinstalled on allof theVLANs belonging
to an interface. Starting in release 2.0, MAC addresses are installed only on the native VLAN by default. In
most implementations this maximizes the VLAN port count.
If a trunking driver is being run on the host and the interface is in promiscuous mode, we recommend that
you set the Mac Registration Mode to All VLANs.
Note
Creating a Network Control Policy
MAC address-based port security for Emulex converged Network Adapters (N20-AE0102) is not supported.
When MAC address-based port security is enabled, the fabric interconnect restricts traffic to packets that
contain the MAC address that it first learns. This is either the source MAC address used in the FCoE
Initialization Protocol packet, or the MAC address in an ethernet packet, whichever is sent first by the adaptor.
This configuration can result in either FCoE or Ethernet packets being dropped.
Procedure
Step 1
In the Navigation pane, click the LAN tab.
Step 2
On the LAN tab, expand LAN > Policies.
Step 3
Expand the node for the organization where you want to create the policy.
If the system does not include multitenancy, expand the root node.
Step 4
Right-click the Network Control Policies node and select Create Network Control Policy.
Step 5
In the Create Network Control Policy dialog box, complete the following fields:
DescriptionName
The name of the policy.
This name can be between 1 and 16 alphanumeric characters. You
cannot use spaces or any special characters other than - (hyphen), _
(underscore), : (colon), and . (period), and you cannot change this name
after the object has been saved.
