Chapter 7: Network cabling options
This section contains the following topics:
•
10 GbE-only network configuration
•
Switch-connected network configuration
There are different options for cabling the 10 GbE and 1 GbE interfaces used for the HPE OmniStack Storage,
Federation, and Management networks. You select the configuration that best meets the needs of your
environment. An optional 4-port 1 GbE NIC that replaces the standard 10GbE interface is available if a 1 GbE
network configuration is required.
10 GbE-only network configuration
The minimum recommended network configuration for an environment with two chassis (each with multiple
servers) uses redundant 10 GbE connections to two 10 GbE switches. It uses VLANs to separate the HPE
OmniStack Storage, Federation, and Management networks. This configuration does not use the 1 GbE ports for
the management network.
The following figure shows a chassis with three servers. Your model, may have a different server configuration.
Configuration guidelines for each server:
