Connect 4 Node to production network | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

I have 4 node, what is the best practice to connect node with production switch 

connect the 2 ports 10g for each node to switch and keep 1g without any connect?

 

Hello,

Yes I would discourage the use of any 1G links if you do not need them.

Some people with a physical DMZ will use the 1G link to connect to that network but if you don’t need it I wouldn’t use it.

Your 2 x 10G ports really should be connected resiliently across two switches to cope with switch failure.

 


Hello, exactly the requirements Nutanix is to use the 10gb/s ports and not using 1gb/s ports for management+backplane. And don’t forget, you mustn’t mixed different speed ports in same bonding.


Regards,
