Dell EMC ECS EX Series User Manual

EX3000 network cabling
The network cabling diagrams apply to the EX3000 appliance in a customer-provided rack.
Customers connect to an EX3000 appliance by way of 25 GbE ports on the front-end switches.
For an EX3000 appliance, the 25 GbE ports run at 25 GbE. Customer configurations can include
25 GbE front-end switches provided by Dell EMC or customers may provide their own front-end
switches.
To distinguish between the two front-end switches and the two back-end switches, each switch
has a nickname:
l
Hare: The top S5148F 1U 25 GbE front-end switch. This switch runs 25 GbE SFP28 ports to
EX3000 nodes.
l
Rabbit: The bottom S5148F 1U 25 GbE front-end switch. This switch runs 25 GbE SFP28 ports
to EX3000 nodes.
l
Hound: The top S5148F 1U 25 GbE back-end switch running 25 GbE SFP28 ports to the nodes.
l
Fox: The bottom S5148F 1U 25 GbE back-end switch running 25 GbE SFP28 ports to the
nodes.
