Platform port assignments for a Cisco 9336C-FX2 shared switch

The port usage in a MetroCluster IP configuration depends on the switch model and platform type.
Review these considerations before using the tables:
-
At least one MetroCluster configuration or DR group must support switch-attached NS224 shelves.
-
Platforms that do not support switch-attached NS224 shelves can only be connected as a second MetroCluster configuration or as a second DR group.
-
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

Note 1: If you are using an X91440A adapter (40Gbps), then use either ports e4a and e4e or e4a and e8a. If you are using an X91153A adapter (100Gbps), then use either ports e4a and e4b or e4a and e8a.

For a switch-attached cluster, the identical cluster ports on the AFF A90 or AFF A70 nodes should be on the same switch. For example, e1a on node1 and e1a on node2 should be attached to one cluster switch. Similarly, the second cluster port from both nodes should be attached to the second cluster switch. Cross-connection of shared cluster HA ports, where e1a from node1 is connected to IP_Switch_x_1 and e1a from node2 is connected to IP_Switch_x_2, prevents HA communication failure.
