Data network A, nodes 1 - 22 cabling example
Use the following figure and table to connect cables for the data network A, nodes 1 - 22. The node ports referred to in
this table are 10 G ports.
Note: In this example, data switch ports have been intentionally left empty. These empty ports can be used for
other user-allocated purposes. If no other use is required for the empty ports, nodes may be connected to the data
switches without leaving empty ports. However, ensure that on each node, each NIC is connected to a different
data switch (either Data Switch A or Data Switch B), in order to prevent a single point of failure in case a switch
fails.
