The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Table 1 is intended to be used as a template for recording your Ultra M network Layer 2 and Layer 3 deployments.
Some of the Layer 2 and 3 networking parameters identified in Table 1 are configured directly on the UCS hardware via CIMC. Other parameters are configured as part of the CVIM configuration. This configuration is done through various configuration files depending on the parameter:
