Works together
How the HPE P26264-B21 connects to servers, storage and the network: 3 ways, with the hardware on each path.
iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet
Keep the speed the same at all three points: a 25GbE server, a 25GbE switch port and a 25GbE array port. Mixed speeds work but the slowest link sets the pace.
Switches
HPE Aruba CX 10000 1U distributed services switch
HPE Aruba CX 8325-48Y8C 1U rack
HPE Aruba CX 8360-32Y4C 1U rack
HPE Aruba CX 8400 8-slot modular chassis
Storage

Optics
SFP-25G-LR-AR Arista 25GBASE-LR SFP28 Optical Transceiver Module
SFP-25G-SR Arista 25GBASE-SR SFP28 Optical Transceiver
SFP-25G-LR-S Cisco 25GBASE-LR SFP28 Optical Transceiver
File storage (NFS and SMB)
Front-end ports face the clients; back-end ports (on scale-out systems) connect the nodes to each other and need their own switch pair.
