FAS 2720 Two node Switchless Cluster - Interconnect

Ragesh — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:28:25 GMT

Hello

We have FAS 2720 box with Base T ports, i would like to use Base T e0c/e0d/eoe/e0f ports for cluster interconnect , to use e0a/e0b SFP+ ports for data traffic. I see this is supported config on HWU, however during cluster setup creation it doesnt create cluster interface lif's and unbale to join the second nodes to switchless cluster

thanks

yes thanks for that

I have cancelled the cluster creation wizard on both nodes, then modified the network ports to Cluster and 9000 MTU, after re-ran the cluster setup , this helped to resolve the issue

thanks
