About the switch-connected network configuration
The switch-connected network configuration for a Federation with two OmniCube servers uses redundant
connections to 10GbE switches for the SimpliVity Storage and Federation networks. It uses redundant
1GbE connections to 1GbE switches (shown below) or, optionally, 10GbE connections to 10GbE switches
for the Management network.

Configuration guidelines:
• For each system, use two SFP+ Direct Attach active cables (or Fiber Optic cables) to connect the
10GbE network interfaces to different 10GbE switches.
• For each system, use two network cables to connect the 1GbE network interfaces to different 1GbE
switches. 1GbE cables are not provided in the shipping carton.
