Network layer

  •  The network layer consists of the following switches:

    • Two 10 GbE network switches—Connect to two 10 Gb ports on the Kubernetes node to route the network traffic
    • Two 16 Gb/s Fibre Channel (FC) fabric switches—Route SAN traffic between the R740 servers and the XtremIO X2 storage array

    The following figure shows the recommended FC connectivity between the host bus adapters (HBAs) and the FC switches. It also shows the connectivity between the FC switches and the XtremIO X2 storage array. As shown, each server HBA port connects to two separate FC switches, and the two front-end ports on each XtremIO X2 array controller connect to those same FC switches.
