For the reference design, we assumed the following storage and management requirement:

  • 7 Control Plane Nodes with 4 OSFP (CX7/CX8) connectors each

  • 32x 100GbE ports for Home / NFS Storage

  • 256x 400GbE/NDR ports for High Performance Storage

  • 258x 1 GbE OOB ports for High Performance Storage and Home Storage

  • 2x 1GbE Inband ports for High Performance Storage
