Right Subnet Twelve-Engine Connections
4. Attach the System Director to client port and assign an appropriate IP address for the right
subnet. Verify that you can ping all the switches in the right stack at the expected

Director.
Hi-Gig Link Aggregation Group
Two interconnect cables and Link Aggregation are used to increase the bandwidth between the
IXS’s. However, both interconnect cables must not be connected until Hi-Gig Link Aggregation
is Enabled. Link Aggregation must be enabled for both sides of the network in order for clients
on both sides to perform I/O operations.
c
If Hi-Gig Link Aggregation is not enabled, and two interconnect cables are used to connect
the IXS’s, then traffic loops and stacking problems occur.
