HPE Synergy 12000 Frame - Page 73

Master interconnect module with interconnect link module configurations
The following interconnect modules can be configured as the master switch, with interconnect link modules to support the
master interconnect module:
• HPE Synergy Virtual Connect SE 40 Gb F8 Module
• HPE Synergy 40Gb F8 Switch Module
• HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy
From one to four interconnect link modules are required to support the master interconnect module when using the
following interconnect link modules:
• HPE Synergy 10Gb Interconnect Link Module
• HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module in 25G mode
From one to two interconnect link modules are required to support the master interconnect module when using the
following interconnect link modules:
• HPE Synergy 20Gb Interconnect Link Module
• HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module in 50G mode
If redundancy is required, then two master switches are required per fabric. For the best availability with two or more
frames, the two switches or VC modules must be installed in dierent frames.
As an example of a redundant fabric 3 solution, one interconnect module or VC module would be installed in ICM bay 3 in
one frame and the second interconnect module or VC module would be installed in ICM bay 6 in another frame. ICM bays
for the particular fabric that do not contain the interconnect modules or VC modules would contain the interconnect link
modules, providing redundancy for either an interconnect module failure or frame failure.
The number of interconnect link cables is dierent depending on your Master/Satellite configuration:
