Appendix A - Network Configuration Options
There are different options for configuring the 10GbE interfaces, used for the Storage network, and the
1GbE interfaces, used for the Management network. You can select the configuration that best meets the
needs of your environment.
10GbE-Only Network Configuration
The following image shows the minimum network configuration for a two-OmniCube Federation that uses
redundant 10GbE connections to two 10GbE switches and uses VLANs to separate the SimpliVity Storage,
Federation, and Management networks.
Note:
This network configuration requires additional cables not supplied in the shipping carton.
Guidelines for this network configuration:
• For each system, use two SFP+ Direct Attach cables (or Fiber Optic cables) to connect the 10GbE
ports to different 10GbE switches.
