Logical interconnect configuration

A logical interconnect represents the available networks, uplink sets, and stacking links for a set of physical interconnects in a single enclosure.

A logical interconnect group serves as a template to ensure that the logical interconnects being created are configured consistently.

A logical interconnect is a single administrative entity that consists of the configuration for a set of interconnects in a single enclosure, and includes:

The display of the logical interconnect relationships is the same as shown on the Logical Interconnect Groups graphical interface screen.

  • The uplink sets, which connect to data center networks.

  • The mapping of networks to physical uplink ports, which is defined by the uplink sets for a logical interconnect.

  • The internal networks, which are used for server-to-server communications without traffic egressing any uplinks.

  • The downlink ports, which connect through the enclosure midplane to the servers in the enclosure.

  • The connections between interconnects, which are called stacking links.

  • Stacking links can be internal cables (through the enclosure) or external cables between the external ports of interconnects.

For the maximum number of networks that can be provisioned on a logical interconnect, see the HPE OneView Support Matrix.

For a Server administrator, a logical interconnect represents the available networks through the interconnect uplinks and the interconnect downlink capabilities through a physical server interface. For a Network administrator, a logical interconnect represents an Ethernet stacking configuration, aggregation layer connectivity, stacking topology, network reachability, statistics, and troubleshooting tools.
