Answer

  • Changing the port speed on the switch end to XXGBps does not affect the data ports on the storage end.
  • Increasing the capacity of the switch port should not impact the data ports as long as the switch configuration is according to NetApp standards.
  • It is important to ensure that the switch configuration is in line with NetApp guidelines to avoid any potential issues.:Learn about Cluster, Storage, and Shared switches (netapp.com)
