Does 级联 mean inter-switch link? I don't see why the switches have to be connected to each other. Maybe I didn't fully understand what Oracle support says. Ask him to provide some documents to explain his statement "用于HAIP的多个switch需要做级联".
The picture on p.10 of the article shows two switches, but the reason they are connected is because one may fail to the other in an active/standby configuration. In fact, that picture is not relevant to our discussion. As you guessed, it's for the setup before Oracle introduced HAIP. Back then, we would use OS-level bonding to create one private IP on each node (red line in the picture). |
