Single direct link topology
This section covers details about the single direct link topology.
Based on the single direct link topology and the uplink bandwidth option (10 Gbps or 40 Gbps) for the
customer data center connection, use the following port connectivity diagram:
Figure 31. Customer data center connection: single direct link
Notes:
• The interconnect switch requires a single 1 Gbps copper connection (RJ45) from the out-of-band (OOB)
management port on the interconnect switch to the management switch or the OOB interconnect
network.
• Ports 51 and 54 of the interconnect switch do not have LED status indicators.
The following table provides the ports from the interconnect switch which need to be connected to the
customer data center network.
Uplink bandwidth option
10 Gbps data center network uplink
40 Gbps data center network uplink
Note: Choose either the 10 Gbps or the 40 Gbps option.
