PowerStore Network Topology with Top of Rack Switches Interconnect Not Using MC-LAG Top of Rack Switch 1 Port Channel Top of Rack Switch 2 Port 0 Port 1 Node A Port 1 Port 0 Node B PowerStore T Appliance Legend: Active state Passive state Figure 12. ToR switches direct interconnect not using MC-LAG No direct interconnect between the switches If the ToR switches cannot be interconnected directly then use highly reliable Layer 2 (L2) upstream links. ToR switch connectivity through the upstream links require redundant, high speed connections. Using L2 (Ethernet level) upstream links without an MC-LAG connection to connect the ToR switches is an acceptable alternative to a direct interconnect for PowerStore deployments. When using highly reliable upstream links for ToR switch interconnectivity, the 1st 2-ports in the PowerStore appliance 4-port card (system bond) reverts into an active/passive state. 50 Switch requirements for deployments with storage services
