Figure 7 shows one VxFlex node (VxFlex-1) connected to two leaf switches using two Mellanox ConnectX-4

LX PCIe cards that are installed in PCIe slots 1 and 2. The leaf switches are Virtual Link Trunking (VLT)

peers. One port from each PCIe card connects to each leaf switch. The connections for VxFlex-2 through

VxFlex-4 (not shown) are done in the same manner.
