Port assignments for AFA DM7000F or DM7000H systems with Cisco 3232C 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.

Note
The switches cannot be configured with ports of different speeds (for example, a mix of 100 Gbps ports and 40 Gbps ports).

ISL notes​

ISL connections can be done either with the 40/100 Gbps ports (15—20) or using breakout cables with ports 21—24.

Switch port usage​

A separate breakout cable is required for each MetroCluster IP interconnect connection (two breakout cables for each node).

The switch ports that support breakout mode are divided into four logical ports. For example, physical port 25 is logically split into four ports:

  • 25/1

  • 25/2

  • 25/3

  • 25/4
