In this configuration:
• Management and data paths are on different subnets or networks
• Ports eth0a handle management traffic
• Ports in slot 1 (eth1 ports) through slot 6 (eth6 ports) handle data traffic
In the following example, the eth0a port on each controller provides the management path (red cables). The eth3a port on
each controller provides the data path (blue cables). The management and data ports connect to different network switches.
The host also connects to both switches. The separated management and data paths on this network provide higher performance
and high availability.
Note that only one management connection and one data connection are shown. You can add more connections and use
different ports as needed.
