Complete the cabling worksheet for Cisco Nexus 3232C cluster switches to document port connections and supported platform configurations.
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 | ||
