Abstract

See full text

Examples include techniques for virtual Ethernet switching of a multi-node fabric. In some examples, first Ethernet links coupled with a group of Ethernet gateways are link aggregated. The group of Ethernet gateways couple with respective individual physical switch ports of a fabric switch of a multi-node fabric to form a default logical gateway to provide an uplink between a virtual Ethernet switch and an Ethernet network external to the multi-node fabric. Also, one or more individual Ethernet gateways coupled with respective individual physical switch ports of the fabric switch may be arranged to provide one or more respective downlinks between the virtual Ethernet switch and one or more Ethernet nodes external to the multi-node fabric via respective second Ethernet links coupled with the one or more individual Ethernet gateways.
