# Setting Up the Switches for HyperScale Edge

HyperScale Edge provides flexible topologies for connecting the nodes to different network infrastructures. There are numerous potential switch configurations that may need to be in place depending on the selected network topology.

The following general rules must be followed for configuring switch ports for HyperScale X:

- All interfaces configured for the HyperScale Edge node should be configured as access/untagged ports, except when connecting the nodes to multiple VLANs.

- When using Active-Backup bonding, no port-channel or link-aggregation is needed to be configured on the switch.

- When using Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), each pair of ports should be configured as an active port-channel, and not configured to negotiate the aggregation protocol.
