This post will be used document some notes and a sample configuration.

UCS LAN Connectivity

According to the blueprint, there are five categories on testable items in the LAN section.

• Configure different Port types
• Implement Ethernet end Host Mode
• Implement VLANs and Port Channels.
• Implement Pinning and PIN Groups
• Implement Disjoint Layer 2

I won't just include these five but they will be the focus.

Dynamic VSANs

VSAN membership can be assigned based on the device WWN.  This is referred to as Dynamic Port VSAN Membership (DPVM) and it eliminates the need to reconfigure when a device is moved to another port on a local or remote switch.  DPVM uses CFS to distribute the VSAN information across the fabric. A test configuration is outlined below.

FC Oversubcription

Yet another topic that is listed on the blueprint so I'd better be prepared for it. I don't plan on going into much detail as I think the odds are pretty low that I would see anything on this.
