Multiple port, multiple server configuration
This configuration can also be used for cluster operation. You can replace the two
Gb Ethernet switches shown in Figure 5 with one large Gb Ethernet switch that has
the required number of ports. Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) can also be used
to isolate the two iSCSI networks, instead of a single switch.
The following illustration is an example of a multiple port, multiple server
