Cisco 9132T port usage for FC-to-SAS bridges in a MetroCluster FC configuration
Learn about the port assignments required to cable Cisco 9132T FC switches to FC-to-SAS bridges using both FC ports.
|  | Only one (1) bridge stack is supported using Cisco 9132T switches with 1xLEM Module. | 
MetroCluster 1 or DR group 1
The following table shows the supported shelf configurations in MetroCluster 1 or DR group 1 for FibreBridge 7500N or 7600N bridges using both FC ports (FC1 and FC2) on Cisco 9132T switches. You should be aware of the following when using this configuration table:
- 
In four-node configurations, you can cable additional bridges to ports LEM2-1 through LEM2-8 on Cisco 9132T switches with 2xLEMs. 
| Component | Port | Connects to FC_switch… | 9132T 1x LEM (Four-node) | 9132T 2x LEM (Four-node) | 9132T 2x LEM (Eight-node) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stack 1 | bridge_x_1a | FC1 | 1 | LEM1-13 | LEM1-13 | LEM1-9 | 
| FC2 | 2 | LEM1-13 | LEM1-13 | LEM1-9 | ||
| bridge_x_1b | FC1 | 1 | LEM1-14 | LEM1-14 | LEM1-10 | |
| FC2 | 2 | LEM1-14 | LEM1-14 | LEM1-10 | ||
| Stack 2 | bridge_x_2a | FC1 | 1 | n/a | LEM1-15 | LEM1-11 |

MetroCluster 2 or DR group 2
The following table shows the supported shelf configurations in MetroCluster 2 or DR group 2 for FibreBridge 7500N or 7600N bridges using both FC ports (FC1 and FC2) on Cisco 9132T switches. You should be aware of the following when using this configuration table:
- 
In eight-node configurations, you can cable additional bridges to ports LEM2-13 through LEM2-16 on Cisco 9132T switches with 2x LEMs.
