Cabling controllers to your network

You can cable the controllers to your network by using the two-node switchless cluster method or by using the cluster interconnect network.

For more detailed information, refer to DM7100H Systems Installation and Setup Instructions.

  • Cabling a two-node switchless cluster
    The optional data ports, optional NIC cards, and management ports on the controller modules are connected to switches. The cluster interconnect and HA ports are cabled between both controller modules.
  • Cabling a switched cluster
    The optional data ports, optional NIC cards, mezzanine cards, and management ports on the controller modules are connected to switches. The cluster interconnect and HA ports are cabled on to the cluster/HA switch.
