Port assignments for AFA DM7000F, DM7000H, AFA DM5000F, and DM5000H systems with Broadcom supported BES-53248 IP switches

The port usage in a MetroCluster IP configuration depends on the switch model and platform type.

The following tables show the port usage for site A. The same cabling is used for site B.

Only one MetroCluster configuration is supported on the switches.

Note
The switches cannot be configured with ports of different speeds (for example, a mix of 25 Gbps ports and 10 Gbps ports).
