- Overview of the Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switch
The BES-53248 cluster switches are designed to work in clusters ranging in size from two to 24 controllers in ONTAP 9.6 and later. - Setting up the Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switch
You can use the setup information to get your cluster switches ready to configure and customize them for your requirements. - Required documentation for Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switches
You need specific switch and controller documentation to set up your Cluster-Mode configuration. - Configuring a new Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switch
You can configure a new BES-53248 cluster switch by completing the steps detailed in this chapter. - Upgrading a Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switch in an NDO/NDU environment
Upgrading Broadcom BES-53248 cluster switches on systems running ONTAP 9.6 and later, starts with preparing the controller for upgrade, installing the EFOS software, licenses, and reference configuration file (RCF). After the installation, you can restore the controller configuration in a nondistruptive upgrade (NDU) and nondisruptive operation (NDO) environment. - Migrating to a two-node switched cluster with Broadcom-supported BES-53248 cluster switches
If you have a two-node switchless cluster, you can migrate, non-disruptively, to a two-node switched cluster that includes Broadcom-supported BES-53248 cluster switches. The procedure you use depends on whether you have two dedicated cluster-network ports on each controller or a single cluster port on each controller. The process documented works for all nodes using optical or twinax ports but is not supported on this switch if nodes are using onboard 10Gb BASE-T RJ45 ports for the cluster-network ports. - Contacting Support
