Multiple logical interconnect groups in an enclosure group

One or more logical interconnect groups are associated with an enclosure group and are used to define the logical interconnect configuration for every enclosure that is using that enclosure group.

The advantages of using multiple logical interconnect groups in an enclosure group are:
  • Having air-gap separation between Ethernet networks to allow isolation of network traffic.

  • Eliminating the need for stacking cables between interconnects, freeing uplink ports for data center traffic.

  • Doubling the number of networks in an active/active configuration.

Logical interconnect group requirements

  • Interconnects in horizontally adjacent bays must contain the same interconnect type or an empty bay.
