Is there a fibre channel option?
We currently offer ethernet switches only.
What is the benefit of two Ethernet switches?
A second Ethernet switch can connect servers to two separate physical networks without using VLANs, or connect servers to more than two separate networks using VLANs. A second switch can also provide redundant data paths in a network, when utilizing Spanning Tree or Rapid Spanning Tree protocols.
Do I have to add a mezzanine card to each compute module?
One Dual Gigabit Ethernet I/O Expansion Mezzanine Card AXXGBIOMEZ is required for each compute module that needs to access the second switch.
What kinds of teaming are supported?
Adapter Fault Tolerance and Adaptive Load Balancing are supported with a single switch. Switch Fault Tolerance is supported with dual switches and a mezzanine card, and is set via Device Manager or the NIC driver.
Can I aggregate NICs 1 & 2 and 3 & 4?
You can use Switch Fault Tolerance to bond a team of NIC1 and NIC2, with a team of NIC3 and NIC4; allowing aggregation between switches.
Are there any security issues running multiple tenants, multiple domains, or multiple NATs?
No. The networking subsystem is specifically designed to treat each Compute Module as a unique entity.
