You are using Broadcom BES-53248 switches for a cluster interconnect in a base configuration.
In this scenario, what is the minimum number of ISLs supported between the switches?
You are using Broadcom BES-53248 switches for a cluster interconnect in a base configuration.
In this scenario, what is the minimum number of ISLs supported between the switches?
The minimum number of Inter-Switch Links (ISLs) supported between Broadcom BES-53248 switches in a base configuration is 2. This ensures redundancy and provides a failover mechanism, which is essential for maintaining cluster interconnect integrity and performance.
