Hi NVIDIA Aerial team,

Thank you for releasing Aerial Testbed 1.0 and the updated installation documentation.

I am preparing to build an Aerial Testbed setup using the following hardware listed in the documentation:

  • DGX Spark
  • Dell PowerSwitch S5248F-ON as the fronthaul switch
  • VIAVI Qg 2 Multi-Sync Gateway and PTP GrandMaster
  • WNC 1220 O-RU, 4T4R

I would like to confirm the recommended physical cabling for this specific setup.

Based on the current documentation, the Dell S5248F-ON example mentions the following port usage:

  • RUs on ports 1 and 7
  • GrandMaster on port 5
  • CN on ports 11 and 12
  • gNB ports on ports 49 and 51

Could you please clarify the actual physical cabling for a DGX Spark-based setup?

Physical topology diagram or real setup photos, Would it be possible to provide either:

  • A physical cabling diagram for the DGX Spark + Dell S5248F-ON + VIAVI Qg 2 + WNC 1220 setup, or
  • Real lab photos showing the actual cable connections between DGX Spark, the Dell fronthaul switch, the VIAVI Qg 2, and the WNC 1220 O-RU?

This would be very helpful for reproducing the Aerial Testbed 1.0 deployment, especially for users who are setting up the hardware for the first time.

Thanks.
