Defining Uplink Types
You define uplink types in the Sites & Networks page.
An uplink type is a name for similar functioning uplinks. On the SCC, uplink types can be used across multiple sites and path selection rules can be created using these names. The name must be unique at a site (but it can be same across different sites) so that the system can detect which path selection rule uses which uplinks. Because path selection rules are global on the SCC, you are restricted to 8 uplink types.

Most "leaking refrigerator" calls are actually just a clogged defrost drain. Clear it before paying for a service visit.

Note: On the SteelHead, this field is called the Uplink Name, on the SCC it is the Uplink Type. Riverbed recommends using the same name for an uplink in all sites connecting to the same network.
