The port usage in a MetroCluster IP configuration depends on the switch model and platform type.
Review the following considerations before using the configuration tables:
-
The tables in this section are for 36-port Cisco 9336C-FX2 switches when at least one MetroCluster configuration or DR group is connecting NS224 shelves to the MetroCluster switch.
If you have a 36-port Cisco 9336C-FX2 switch that isn't connecting NS224 storage, use the tables in Platform port assignments for Cisco 3232C or 36-port Cisco 9336C-FX2 switches.
If you have a 12-port Cisco 9336C-FX2 switch, use the tables in Platform port assignments for 12-port Cisco 9336C-FX2 switches .
The 12-port Cisco 9336C-FX2 switch doesn't support connecting NS224 shelves to the MetroCluster switch. -
When you cable a Cisco 9336C-FX2 switch connecting NS224 storage, you can only have a maximum of two MetroCluster configurations or DR groups. At least one MetroCluster configuration or DR group must be connecting NS224 shelves to the MetroCluster switch. You can only connect platforms that don't connect switch-attached NS224 shelves as a second MetroCluster configuration or as a second DR group.
If your second MetroCluster or DR group doesn't connect NS224 shelves to the MetroCluster switch, follow the cabling tables for controllers not connecting switch-attached NS224 shelves.
-
The RcfFileGenerator only shows eligible platforms when the first platform is selected.
-
Connecting one eight-node or two four-node MetroCluster configurations requires ONTAP 9.14.1 or later.
Choose the correct cabling table for your configuration
Review the correct port assignments table for your configuration. There are two sets of cabling tables in this section:

Determine which port assignments table you should follow for controllers connecting switch-attached NS224 shelves.
| Platform | Use this cabling table… |
|---|---|
AFF C30, AFF A30 AFF C60 |
The table you follow depends on whether you are using a 25G (group 1a) or 100G (group 1b) Ethernet card. |
