Configuration of Layer 3 Topology
This section will cover the configuration of the layer 3 topology. In the example provided there are three Isilon
nodes connected to each leaf pair as well as two Dell PowerEdge servers that will be consuming the storage.
The connections for the first node are shown in the diagram. Each subsequent node is cabled similarly. The
configurations for all connections are detailed in the following sections. The Isilon nodes will all connect on the
back-end network through two InfiniBand switches, creating one single six node cluster. The Isilon back-end
networking is not covered in this guide.
Layer 3 Topology
Note:
The configuration files for every switch in this topology are listed in the attachments section.
