Even if the fiber cable has advantages on distance and latency, the use of SFP+ transceiver can add up to 30%-40% to server, switch and storage interface costs. Apart from the difference listed in the chart, another factor that should be considered is the cost. No matter fiber cable, 10G SFP+ copper cable or 10GBASE-T NIC, they can be used in ToR, EoR and MoR connections. Within HPE OneView, you can add and remove top-of-rack switches through logical switch group templates and associated logical switches.As have mentioned above, 10G connections between servers and switches can be realized with both fiber and copper cables. HPE OneView supports status and configuration monitoring and compliance monitoring of Arista top-of-rack switches when they are operating as aggregation switches and connected directly to a Virtual Connect interconnect in an enclosure. Firmware update is not supported for these resources.
HPE OneView support focuses on providing a monitored view of the environment with the ability for limited configuration changes on the interconnect facing ports. Reduced operational expenses (less cabling, reduced power consumption for operation and cooling, effective bandwidth utilization) One single point of management and policy enforcement Integration with top-of-rack switches provides the following benefits:Ī distributed modular system that creates a scalable server access environment For redundancy reason, the peer interface is normally configured as a port channel of at least two physical ports.Īlong with the default switch port details, the following remote connection details are displayed automatically when a port in a top-of-rack switch is connected to an interconnect or switch port.
IP address and MAC address of the peer in an MLAG domain can be configured. You can increase data center flexibility by placing switching resources in each rack so that server connectivity can be aggregated.Ī multi-chassis link aggregation (MLAG) allows links that are physically connected to two different switches to appear as a single port channel to a third switch. Modular data centers, deploying both individual servers and racks of servers, can use a top-of-rack switch deployment model as a solution for network consolidation.
HPE OneView Support Matrix for HPE Synergy for the complete list of supported devices. This unification enables network consolidation, reducing the number of adapters and cables required and eliminating redundant switches.Ī configuration of enclosures, servers, and third-party devices-such as top-of-rack switches-provides scalability in managing servers and higher demand for bandwidth from each server with access-layer redundancy. Top-of-rack switches provide a unified, converged fabric over Ethernet for LAN and SAN traffic.
