Dell EMC VxRail Multirack Deployment Guide
Figure 9 shows a physical view of Rack 1. The VxRail P series nodes, sfo01w01vxrail01 through 04 each
have 2x 25 GbE links with each being connected to one of the two S5248F-ON leaf switches in the rack. Each
VxRail node has an iDRAC connected to a S3048-ON OOB management switch. This connection is used for
the initial node configuration. The S5248F-ON leaf switches are connected using two QSFP28-DD 200 GbE
direct access cables (DAC) forming a VLT interconnect (VLTi) for a total throughput of 400 GbE . Upstream
connections to the spine switches are not shown but are configured using two QSFP28 100 GbE uplinks.
