Connecting HA Servers to the Switch

CMS R3V8 High Availability
Connectivity, Upgrade and Administration
Connecting to the Definity Switch 2-7
Distance Limits 2The maximum allowable length for a single segment of Cat 5 cable is 100
meters (328 feet); a maximum of four hubs can be used in series to
connect cable segments. Therefore, the distance between a local switch
and server must not exceed a maximum distance of 500 meters (1,640
feet).
However, when multiple ACDs are in use, few, if any, switches are likely
to be installed in the same physical location as the CMS servers. In most
cases, connections to the switches (both local and remote) are typically
made through a private network maintained by the customer.
Parts List 2The following parts list includes basic hardware items required to connect
each dual ACD link to a CMS HA server according to the recommended
connectivity configuration. For multiple dual link connections, additional
part quantities may be required for some components.
