||||||
| Preferred bandwidth |
The preferred bandwidth, in Gb/s, to be used when this network set is used by a server profile. The preferred bandwidth setting of a network set can be overridden by a server profile. Changing this value for a network set will not affect server profiles that are overriding it. This value cannot be greater than the Maximum bandwidth value.
|
||||||
| Maximum bandwidth |
The maximum bandwidth, in Gb/s, to be used when this network set is used by a server profile. This value cannot be less than the preferred bandwidth

| Networks |
Enables you to select and remove networks and to designate an untagged network. The items displayed depend on whether or not there are networks configured for this network set. |
||||||
| List of networks |
A list of all networks that are members of this network set. This list is available only if the network set contains networks. In order for a network set to be used in a server profile connection, all networks in the network set must be available on the logical interconnect group and the logical interconnect that contain the connection. For a given network:
|
||||||
| Add networks |
Enables you to add networks to the network set. When you click Add networks, the Add Networks to network set dialog box opens to display a list of networks you can add to the network set. To select multiple networks, use the Ctrl or Shift key while clicking. For information about this dialog box, see Add Networks to network set dialog box. If no tagged Ethernet networks are available to be added, this button is disabled. |
||||||
| Remove all |
Removes all networks from this network set This button appears if the network set contains networks. Use this button to remove all networks from the network set before you add their replacements. If a server profile adds a connection to an empty network set, the server cannot connect to any data center networks using that connection. |
Use the Add Networks to network set dialog box to add networks to a network set. To access the dialog box, click the Add networks button on the Create Network Set or Edit Network Set screen.
