Patrick Saldou (psaldou@eplus.com) - 8:57 AM Q: Can the M1 card be in the same VDC as the F2 card?

Wei Wu - 9:23 AM A: yes ________________________________________________________________ Craig Weinhold (craig.weinhold@cdw.com) - 9:07 AM Q: Does FP have any polarization issues? Are there guidelines about when to use p ort-channels and when to use ECMP? Wei Wu - 9:30 AM A: port-chanels would be used if you want to bundle more than 1 link toge ther to another switch, it gives you more bandwidth than single links, with sing les links you can have up to 16x ECMP paths to next hop, each path being 10GE Wei Wu - 9:32 AM A: with port-channels, you can have 16 ECMP paths too, but each path woul d be up to 16x 10GE for 160GE. ________________________________________________________________ Craig Weinhold (craig.weinhold@cdw.com) - 9:26 AM Q: How well does FP support sloppy network topologies? I.e., daisy-chaining multi ple FP switches, leaf switches that also act as spines, and so forth? Wei Wu - 9:36 AM A: this will work too, the most efficient design would be like the slides with spines at core and leafs connecting to multiple spines, FP is flexible
