Four data networks: frontend and backend on all four networks, with fault sets

This example shows a CSV topology file for four data networks, where all four are both frontend and backend networks. Fault sets are also configured.

Four data networks are configured as follows:

Four networks for both frontend and backend: SDCs, MDMs, SDSs, and SDRs (for replication only)
Two external networks for replication (if applicable)
Fault sets

An example CSV file, saved in Excel format for convenience, can be downloaded if you are viewing this page online in the Dell Technologies Technical Resource Center: SDS-SDC-Same-Network-6_node_withFaultSet.xlsx

The following table lists the parameters that must be configured for this use case. Other optional parameters in the CSV file should be configured as necessary.
