Dear ITRC
I'm installing C7000 with 10 BL460c G6.
I want to configure 4 uplinks from VC flex10g Ethernet to be used in a single network. I have connected (Bay 1 port X1, Bay 1 port X2, Bay 2 port X1, Bay 2 port X2) to my DC switch and when ever I try to run the network set-up wizard it show my connected links are Not linked al though they are connected to my local switch and my local switch is working properly.

please see the attachment and advice

Regards
Adil Elamin

No!
it show up when ever I connect the physical link to another device, but it show down whenever I connect it to my DC switch.
I think VC will operate only with 100MB/S switched network and higher only.

More specifically, 10Mb/s is not supported on Flex10 VC module.

It is supported on the older 1/10g VC modules.
