12
Example
The oper code field of the command output identifies the controller card as the active card (normal) or
the hot standby card (standby). By default, when you power on a Topspin 270, the card in slot 11
becomes active and the card in slot 12 becomes the standby. The master and standby controllers
automatically synchronize state and configuration information.
InfiniBand Connectivity
The Topspin 270 is an enterprise-class managed 960Gb/S, 6U InfiniBand (IB) Switch that is capable of
supporting up to 96 4X ports.
In addition, the Topspin 270 is designed to support the 12x InfiniBand ports when they become
available.
Flexibility
The architecture of the Topspin 270 offers flexibility in that the switch fabric modules are generic, and
will assume the role of fabric controller or fabric node depending on the slot into which they are
installed.
This increases the ease of replacing components because only one type of fabric card has to be stocked,
and will become a controller or node, depending on what is needed.
Hi-Availability
