Overview of the cluster and management switches
IBM N series recommends using CN1610 as the cluster network switch. Refer to
the management network switch requirements in this section for selecting a
management network switch.
The CN1610 cluster switches are designed to work in clusters ranging in size from
two to twelve nodes in Cluster-Mode supported configurations.
v
CN1610 cluster network switch
This is a managed Layer 2 switch that provides 16 10-Gb Small Form-Factor
Pluggable Plus (SFP+) ports and it features four ISL ports with an
inband/outband management port. You can install the CN1610 switch in an IBM
N series system cabinet with the rack-mount installation kit that comes with the
switch, or you can install it in a rack. For more information about the CN1610
switch, see
CN1610 Installation Guide .
v
Management network switch
For the management switch, use a managed Layer 2 switch that provides
10/100/1000 Base-T ports. The management switch must support 802.1 link
aggregation, spanning tree protocol, and at least 2 inter switch links. You can
install the switch in an IBM N series system cabinet with the rack-mount
installation kit that comes with the switch, or you can install it in a rack. For
more information on installing the management switch, consult the
documentation for your switch. Port numbers may vary depending on how
many nodes you plan to have in your cluster. For more information, see
“Management switch port assignment table” on page 9.
