You are using a NetApp CN1610 cluster-interconnect switch and need to connect a new AFF A800A node to the switch.
In this scenario, how many Ethernet ports per node are required on each switch?

Each AFF A800A node requires 2 Ethernet ports per switch for proper functionality and redundancy. This ensures that each node can connect to the cluster-interconnect switch using the appropriate number of ports.
B is correct: Reference: https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMLP2842668 Connect port e1a of each node and port e0a of each node to the cluster interconnect switches (either 1 or 2 switches used).
Correction: answer as A as we require 4 ports in total, but 2 ports per node per switch (in question). Sorry >.<
A is correct 2 ports per node per switch. The A800 only has 100G QSFP cluster ports. The CN1610 only has 10 SFP+ ports.The A800 can connect to a CN1610 only when fitted with a 10G 4 port SFP+ adaptor X1147A. HWU says 2 ports per switch when using this 4 port card.
Should be D, 1 port per node https://docs.netapp.com/ontap-9/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.netapp.doc.dot-mcc-inst-cnfg-ip%2FGUID-4255F6AB-8CA7-4772-B282-218AE0DC60A8.html
