4-port Node
Bay 1
* Flexible port mapping is not available in Stacking mode
Applies to EN2092, EN4093R, CN4093, SI4093
Reassign ports as needed:
• Each license is a pool of ports
• Assign internal and external 10 GbE ports as needed
• Trade off four 10 GbE ports for the use of an external 40 GbE port

Flex System Interconnect Fabric
What is it?…
Simple Ethernet Fabric cluster
Loop free design with no spanning tree
Scalable multi-chassis, multi-rack interconnect fabric infrastructure
Server-to-server traffic stays inside the chassis
Importance…
Rapidly deploy additional chassis or racks – configure the Fabric once
95%1 reduction in the nº of network devices required to manage a 9 chassis, 3 rack configuration
ZERO2 down time for service upgrades
ZERO3 additional Flex System CAPEX – use existing SI4093 and G8264CS Flex System HW
Support for Ethernet, iSCSI and FCoE protocols
Proven interoperability with 3rd party core network like Cisco and Juniper
Simplified Fabric Infrastructure to accelerate deployment with optimum efficiency
1
One G8264CS Switch vs 20 Devices (2 G8264CS’s and 18 SI4093’s)
2
Master switch provides in service upgrades to all 18 devices
3
G8264CS and SI4093 are the only modules enabled for the fabric infrastructure
