5.7 Rack-level networking: Sample configurations

In this section, we describe the following sample configurations that use
NeXtScale systems:
InfiniBand non-blocking
InfiniBand 50% blocking
10 Gb Ethernet configuration with one port per node
10 Gb Ethernet configuration with two ports per node
The location of the chassis and the switches within the rack are shown in a way
that optimizes the cabling of the solution. The chassis and switches are
color-coded to indicate which InfiniBand or Ethernet switches support which
chassis.
Management network: Management networking is the same for all
configurations. For more information, see 5.7.5, "Management network" on
page 151.
