Typical Deployment Topologies
Figure 1-2 Ethernet TOR Switch Topology
All of the server-side ports on the Nexus 5020 switch are running standard Ethernet. FCoE is not
required, so the server ports are connected using 10-Gigabit Ethernet NICs.
The servers are connected to the data center SAN through MDS 9134 SAN switches. The server Fibre
Channel ports require standard Fibre Channel HBAs.
