18 EX300 nodes on a pair of S5148F

Hi @all,

if I'm configuring EX300 in myquotes I can configure 16 nodes max.

The product documentation tells me also only 16 nodes max per rack.

I think this is related to the default switch-configuration, where 16 ports are reserved for node connectivity.

Is it possible to expand the 16 nodes to 18 nodes on the switch pairs for FE and BE?

And if not, what would be the best way to configure 18 nodes?

I did it with 2x 9 nodes!

Kind regards

Matthias
