Node to Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch connectivity requirements A dual switch topology requires that each of the base enclosure appliance nodes have at least one connection to each of the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches to provide redundancy at the NIC and switch levels. Figure 13. Node to ToR switch cabling When cabling the nodes to the switches: ● Port 0 and Port 1 on the same node must connect to opposite switches ● Port 0 on Node A, and Port 0 on Node B must connect to opposite switches ● Port 1 on Node A, and Port 1 on Node B must connect to opposite switches PowerStore models and network hardware overview 15

Node to Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch connectivity requirements
A dual switch topology requires that each of the base enclosure appliance nodes have at least one connection to each of the
Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches to provide redundancy at the NIC and switch levels.
Figure 13. Node to ToR switch cabling
When cabling the nodes to the switches:
●
Port 0 and Port 1 on the same node must connect to opposite switches
●
Port 0 on Node A, and Port 0 on Node B must connect to opposite switches
●
Port 1 on Node A, and Port 1 on Node B must connect to opposite switches
