Type 3: Small Core Design Use the Type 3: Small Core design when: • An interconnect link bandwidth between the spines and leaves of 10 GbE is required. • The current and future planned uplinks and downlinks on the leaves for your core is less than or equal to 960 ports. • The leaves act as a switch or ToR-leaf switch. Within the ToR, the downlink protocol can be either "VLAN" or "VLAN and LAG". NOTE: To enable the leaves to act as a ToR, check the Enable the Leaves to Act as a ToR box at the Cores > Core Deployment > Design > Create a New Core > Downlink Configuration screen With a Type 3: Small Core design, the S4810 spines connect to the S4810 leaves at a fixed 10 GbE. The maximum number of spines is 4 and the maximum number of leaves is 16, as show in the following figure. Each S4810 leaf for the Type 3: Small Core design has the following: • 40 Gigabit of interlink maximum capacity to the spine (4x 10Gig) • 60 10 Gig Ethernet ports for servers per node and WAN connectivity 16

Type 3: Small Core Design
Use the Type 3: Small Core design when:
•
An interconnect link bandwidth between the spines and leaves of 10 GbE is required.
•
The current and future planned uplinks and downlinks on the leaves for your core is less than or equal to 960
ports.
•
The leaves act as a switch or ToR-leaf switch. Within the ToR, the downlink protocol can be either "VLAN" or
"VLAN and LAG".
NOTE:
To enable the leaves to act as a ToR, check the
Enable the Leaves to Act as a ToR
box at the
Cores > Core
Deployment > Design > Create a New Core > Downlink Configuration
screen
With a Type 3: Small Core design, the S4810 spines connect to the S4810 leaves at a fixed 10 GbE. The maximum number
of spines is 4 and the maximum number of leaves is 16, as show in the following figure.
Each S4810 leaf for the Type 3: Small Core design has the following:
•
40 Gigabit of interlink maximum capacity to the spine (4x 10Gig)
•
60 10 Gig Ethernet ports for servers per node and WAN connectivity
