Hybrid Topologies

To follow this guide, your system must be running OneView software version 4.7.0-268 or newer.

Preface

For Connect systems with OneView™ version 4.7.0-268 or newer installed, arbitrary Hybrid system topologies are now supported. This article contains several examples of common system topologies that have been officially tested. However, other system topologies not shown here will also work, provided that device specifications are carefully considered (e.g. maximum expected traffic load per switch, per port, etc).

For more detailed instructions for how to physically connect your system, please refer to the articles Initial OneView™ Setup (Hybrid Only) and Connecting a Hybrid System.
