Four-port configuration Figure 4 shows the use of four Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3110 units to route four Ethernet ports from each server: the two integrated ports plus two ports supplied by a compatible CFFv or CIOv expansion card. Four Ethernet Switch Modules are installed in bay 1, bay 2, bay 3, and bay 4 of the BladeCenter chassis. All connections between the controller and card and the switch modules are internal to the chassis. The four switches are connected together with StackWise Plus cables to form a single Virtual Blade Switch. Figure 4. Using the Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3110 to route the four Ethernet ports from the integrated controller and a CFFv or CIOv expansion card Table 7 lists the components that are used in the four-port configuration shown in Figure 4.
