Network Requirements
Switched 10Gb Ethernet Network
When the PS-M4110 is installed in a M1000e chassis that has the proper M-Series IO Modules (KR-based
blade network switches) or pass-throughs installed, all network connections are 10GbE. The IO modules on
the fabric to which the PS-M4110 is connected must be KR-based 10GbE.
Interconnect All SAN Switches
For increased availability, the Ethernet ports on both PS-M4110 control modules are automatically connected
to each redundant M1000e IO module (IOM) of the configured fabric. (Assuming that both IO modules are
installed.) One port is active and one port is passive.
For example, if a PS-M4110 is configured for Fabric B, and both the B1 IOM and B2 IOM are installed, the
Ethernet ports from each control module are connected to both B1 and B2 IOMs. This provides a total of
four potential Ethernet paths. However, only one Ethernet path is active at any given time.
In the above example, if the B1 IO module fails, both active and passive PS-M4110 ports will automatically
failover to the B2 IO module.
See Figure 3 for an illustration of the above example, showing how the PS-M4110 control modules and
M1000e fabric IOMs are connected.
