  • MetroCluster IP-fabric

Answer

  • No, this configuration is not supported. The speeds need to match across the MetroCluster.
  • If ports of mixed speed are used for iWARP communication, this can introduce latency issues as data packets may need to be queued or processed differently based on the speed of the interfaces. This can impact real-time applications and overall network responsiveness.
