Dell PowerStore PowerStore T and Q Networking Guide for Storage Services

Direct interconnect not using MC-LAG

If MC-LAG is not used to interconnect the ToR switches, you can create a port channel between the ToR switches.

When the ToR switches are connected using a Port Channel, the first 2-ports in the PowerStore appliance 4-port card (system bond) reverts into an active/passive state.
