Switch requirements
l
One 10 GbE switch is required. Two or more 10 GbE switches may be used for high
availability and load balancing purposes. Separate (one or more) 1 GbE switches
may be used for the management network.
Before you begin connecting the switches, ensure that they are installed and
configured. Do not connect the switches to your organization's network until all
installation and configuration activities are complete.
Each node has four 10 GbE ports. Two are used for internal network
communications. The other two ports are used for VMware high availability, DRS,
and client network traffic.
The switches must have sufficient available network ports to accommodate the
following:
Data network 10 GbE switches:
n
– Two 10 GbE ports per node, per switch
Management network switches:
n
– One 1 GbE and one BMC (iDRAC) port per node.
Network requirements are described later in this document.
