Switches (Rear)

General Info:

Same switch shapes as in front view organized in pairs. The shapes were designed to be used with NetApp documentation, but are somewhat generic and can be used with other products as well

Switches are also contained within a grouping box

NetApp Notes:

FAS controller ports used to connect NetApp Management and Cluster Interconnect switches are 1GbE and 10GbE ports on motherboard
FAS controller ports used to connect to Front-End LAN & SAN switches are UTA2 ports on motherboard
Port names vary between FAS models, so use FAS specific switch shape or edit ports manually
Typically Cluster Interconnect and Management switches are located in the same racks as controllers and shelves
For Front-End LAN & SAN switches this is not the case, quite often switches are located in some other rack
