The PowerFlex nodes should already be cabled as shown in the following diagram, with each NIC port connected to an alternative ToR switch. There are no additional NICs to connect for this implementation.

The MC nodes are shipped with an additional dual-port NIC for the PowerFlex SDS data networks (NIC-6 in the diagram above). Each NIC port should also be connected to an alternative ToR switch. You might share the same pair of ToR switches as the PowerFlex system, or you might use a dedicated pair of ToR switches
