Four 10GbE SFP+ ports are available on each S3048-ON switch for use as uplinks to the OOB management network core. Downstream connections to servers, switches, and storage devices are 1GbE BASE-T. The dedicated OOB management port of each leaf and spine switch is used for these connections. Each PowerEdge R740xd server has a connection to the S3048-ON for the server's iDRAC port. The Unity 500F storage array has two dedicated management ports: one for each Storage Processor (SP), SP A and SP B. Both are connected to the S3048-ON. 11 Dell EMC Networking FCoE Deployment with S4148U-ON in NPG Mode
