Note that each MS1300 platform like most rack-mounted deployments contains a switch. It is therefore recommended
that you identify the appropriate upstream topology with the help of the IT/network personnel managing the upstream
network hardware and configuration. This will facilitate the process down the road.
Each section in this application note contains an introduction with general information, followed by steps to perform
platform configuration. The sections covered are shown in black on the flow diagram below.
1.1.
Platform Architecture
The architecture and components of an MS1300 platform are similar to those of a rack in a data center. The platform
contains the equivalent of 1 top-of-rack (ToR) switch and up to 6 servers internally interconnected within the platform, all
in a 1U chassis.
