Single-frame management network with HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Modules cabling example

IMPORTANT:

The management network top-of-rack switch must be the same speed as the cables or transceivers used for MGMT port cabling.

NOTE:

This cabling example does not cover power or production network cabling.

Prerequisites


Item Description Amount
1 HPE Synergy 12000 Frame 1
2 HPE Synergy Composer21 2
3 HPE Synergy 4-Port Frame Link Module (4-Port FLM) 2

Only required in the primary the management ring. Frames in a remote management ring should not have HPE Synergy Composers installed.

Procedure
  1. Using SFP DAC cables, connect both MGMT ports to the management network.
    NOTE:

    The 4-Port FLM MGMT port supports 1GbE and 10GbE cables and transceivers. The MGMT port speed is set based on the cables or transceivers used.

    NOTE: The 4-Port FLM MGMT port supports 1000BASE-T SFP Transceiver with CAT5 cables, 10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver with CAT6A cables, SFP DAC cables, SFP+ 10Gb DAC cables, and SFP+ 10Gb transceivers with optical cables. For a complete list of cabling options, see the product QuickSpecs www.hpe.com/info/qs.

  2. Using SFP+ 10Gb DAC cables, connect the LINK ports together.
    NOTE: The 4-Port FLM LINK port supports 10GBase-T SFP+ transceiver with CAT6A cables, SFP+ 10Gb DAC cables, and SFP+ 10Gb transceivers with optical cables. For a complete list of cabling options, see the product QuickSpecs www.hpe.com/info/qs.
