Increasing external bandwidth
The basic cabling configuration provides connectivity to the customer network and allows for up
to 10 Gb/s of bandwidth between the enclosure and the customer network. This level of bandwidth
may be insufficient for many customer applications.
To support additional bandwidth, the Virtual Connect module is configured to support LACP trunking
on connections X6-X1. By adding additional patch cables between the VC module and the customer
edge switch, the available bandwidth can be increased to a maximum of 60 Gb/s. The customer
edge switch must support LACP trunking and be appropriately configured for the trunking to operate
properly.
Cables should be added in numerically descending order starting with the highest numbered
connection port for a given bond.
