Chapter 7: Network cabling options
This section contains the following topics:
•
10 Gb-only network configuration
•
Direct-connected network configuration
•
Switch-connected network configuration
There are different options for cabling the 10 GbE and 1 GbE interfaces used for the HPE OmniStackStorage,
Federation, and Management networks. You select the configuration that best meets the needs of your
environment.
10 Gb-only network configuration
The minimum network configuration for a federation with two HPE SimpliVity 380 servers uses redundant 10 GbE
connections to two 10 GbE switches. It uses VLANs to separate the HPE OmniStack Storage, Federation, and
Management networks. This configuration does not use the 1 GbE ports for the management network.
The following figure shows a sample configuration with rear boot drives. On your model, additional cards may
have been added to the secondary PCIe riser.
