[Beowulf] How to configure a cluster network

[andrew holway]

Daniel

To give a half bisectional bandwidth the best approach is to set up
two as core switches and the other 4 as edge switches.

Each edge switch will have four connections to each core switch
leaving 16 node connections on each edge switch.

Should provide a 64 port network.

Make sense?
