Cluster and storage switches

Complete the Cisco Nexus 9336C-FX2 cabling worksheet

Contributors netapp-jolieg netapp-yvonneo

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.

Sample cabling worksheet

The sample port definition on each pair of switches is as follows:
