Network cabling options
This section contains the following topics:
• 10 GbE-only network configuration on page 34
• Direct-connected network configuration on page 35
• Switch-connected network configuration on page 36
There are different options for cabling the 10 GbE and 1 GbE interfaces used for the HPE OmniStack Storage, Federation,
and Management networks. You select the configuration that best meets the needs of your environment.
10 GbE-only network configuration
The minimum network configuration for a federation with two HPE SimpliVity 380 servers uses redundant 10 GbE connections
to two 10 GbE switches. It uses VLANs to separate the HPE OmniStack Storage, Federation, and Management networks. This
configuration does not use the 1 GbE ports for the management network.
The following figure shows a sample configuration with rear boot drives. On your model, additional cards may have been
added to the secondary PCIe riser.
Configuration guidelines for each server:
