Master and satellite interconnect module cabling examples

HPE Synergy supports a composable fabric that spans multiple frames and includes master interconnect modules (switches) and satellite modules (links). If your HPE Synergy configuration has a composable fabric, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends cabling the HPE Synergy Ethernet interconnect modules in a master switch configuration, so that multiple interconnect link modules can support the master interconnect module.

HPE OneView considers all HPE Synergy frames that share the Virtual Connect connectivity through satellite interconnect link modules to be a single Logical Enclosure.

To cable switch modules to interconnect link modules, use the examples that follow or see the installation instructions provided with the interconnect link module.

When cabling a HPE Virtual Connect SE 40Gb F8 Module for HPE Synergy, you use L1/L4 and L2/L3 connections to the HPE Synergy 20Gb Interconnect Link Module. When cabling a HPE Virtual Connect SE 100Gb F32 Module for HPE Synergy, you use L1/L2 and L3/L4 connections to the HPE Synergy 50Gb Interconnect Link Module.
