An uplink connection is required to migrate your workloads between VMware Cloud on Dell EMC rack and your network.
VMware Cloud on Dell EMC has two ToR switches. Based on L3 Equal-cost multi-path routing (ECMP), uplink connectivity establishes a connection between the VMware Cloud on Dell EMC ToR switches and your network.
You can set up one or two uplink connections for each ToR switch. Two uplink connections for each ToR switch are included for redundancy. If one uplink connection is down, another one serves as a backup and provides the network connectivity. The bandwidth of each uplink connection can be 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps. Both the SFP+ (10 GbE) and SFP (1 GbE) fiber modules are shipped to you.
