If you want to document the supported platforms, download a PDF of this page and complete the cabling worksheet.
The sample cabling worksheet provides examples of recommended port assignments from the switches to the controllers. The blank worksheet provides a template that you can use in setting up your cluster.
Each switch can be configured as a single 100GbE, 40GbE port or 4 x 10GbE ports.
Sample cabling worksheet
The sample port definition on each pair of switches is as follows:
| Cluster switch A | Cluster switch B | ||
