PRIMECLUSTER uses all significant forms of Ethernet and most devices that support TCP/IP, including mixtures of different technologies. The cluster interconnects must be redundant to assure reliable operation of the cluster; that is, there must be two or more independent connections between all of the nodes in the cluster.
When connecting multiple switches and routers by using cluster interconnects, use VLAN to detach each switch or router logically.
Example:
When connecting multiple switches as the following figure, use VLAN to detach each switch logically.
Figure 3.1 Connecting multiple switches
Each interconnect must support all of the nodes in the cluster.
