    FI cabling configuration and the Base unit position within the Stack. Stack-mode DToR is the default operation of the FI ports on the VSP 7000 Series. You must always connect an FI-up port to an FI-down port, or an FI-down port to and FI-up port on adjacent units.
  • Page 43 Stack-mode DToR configurations Figure 19: FI-down cable configuration Note: Avaya recommends that you use the FI-down configuration. Many network-management software packages assume a down configuration. FI-up configuration In a FI-up configuration, the Base unit is physically located at the top of the Stack. The software automatically numbers the physical units based on the designated Base unit (unit 1).
  • Page 44 Redundant Stack-mode configuration The VSP 7000 Series switches support redundant Stack-mode. You can create a redundant FI cable loop by connecting the Base unit to the unit physically at the bottom of the Stack. In a redundant Stack-mode configuration, if a single unit fails, or if an FI cable is disconnected or damaged, other units in the stack can remain operational without interruption.

  • Page 45: Rear Port Mode

    DToR) On the rear of each VSP 7000 Series unit is a pair of FI-up and FI-down ports. In each FI port pair there is a top and bottom connector. In rear port mode, each top connector can provide up to three 40 Gbps ports, and each bottom connector can provide one 40 Gbps port.

  • Page 46: Fabric-Mode Dtor Configurations

    Each switch has a pair of FI-up and FI-down ports. You can enable the rear port mode on stand- alone VSP 7000 Series units to configure in a Fabric-mode Distributed Top-of-Rack (DToR) or a rear port Raw-mode configuration. When in a rear port mode, you can deploy multiple stand-alone VSP 7000 Series units with topology-aware configurations.

  • Page 47: Installing Fi Cables

    You must enable a rear port mode, and then connect the rear FI ports between multiple stand-alone VSP 7000 Series units. Due to the different bandwidth support of the FI ports, connect the top FI port to the top FI port of another unit, and connect the bottom FI port to the bottom FI port of another unit.
