You must plug in and connect the SFP module to the Top of Rack (ToR) switches, ToR Switch 1, and ToR Switch 2 before configuring the Layer 3 uplink connections.

Procedure

  1. Choose one of the following SFP modules that are shipped to you:
    • SFP+ (10 Gbe)
    • SFP28 (25 Gbe)
  2. Determine which of the following uplink connections you need:
    • Two layer 3, 10G uplink connections
    • Four layer 3, 10G uplink connections
    • Two layer 3, 25G uplink connections
    • Four layer 3, 25G uplink connections
  3. Based on the layer 3 uplink connection, plug in your SFP module to the respective ToR switches and ports.
    For two layer 3, 10G uplink connections, do the following:
    1. Plug in the SFP module to: ToR Switches 1 and 2, Port 41.
    2. Connect the ToR Switch 1 to your Router 1 and ToR Switch 2 to your Router 2.
    For four layer 3, 10G uplink connections, do the following:
    1. Plug in the SFP module to: ToR Switches 1 and 2, Port 41 and ToR switches 1 and 2, Port 42.
    2. Connect the ToR Switches: ToR Switch 1 to your Routers 1 and 2, and ToR Switch 2 to your Routers 1 and 2.
    For two layer 3, 25G uplink connections, do the following:
    1. Plug in the SFP module to: ToR Switches 1 and 2, Port 45.
    2. Connect the ToR Switches: ToR Switch 1 to your Router 1 and ToR Switch 2 to your Router 2.
    For four layer 3, 25G uplink connections, do the following:
    1. Plug in the SFP module to: ToR Switches 1 and 2, Port 45 and ToR Switches 1 and 2, port 46.
    2. Connect the ToR Switches: ToR Switch 1 to your Routers 1 and 2, ToR Switch 2 to your Routers 1 and 2.
