Cabling Overview - Dell NX3600 Deployment Manual

NOTE: Dell PowerConnect switches must be configured with an MTU size of 9216 or greater to accept frames of
size 9000 MTU. Non-Dell switches may require a different MTU configuration for similar frame sizes. For more
information on MTU configuration for non-Dell switches, see the switch-specific manual.

Cabling Overview

The following figures give an overview of the cabling for the Dedicated SAN – High Availability (HA) solution. If one of
the non-HA topologies is chosen, instead of splitting the cables between switches A and B, the cables will go to the
single switch A.
For example, if you do not use two client switches, all client connection cables will go to client switch A. Cabling
illustrations for other available topologies are detailed further down in the document.
