Two Dedicated Networks
In this configuration:
• Management and data paths are on different subnets or networks
• Port eth0a and eth0b handle management traffic
• Ports in slot 1 (eth1 ports) through slot 3 (eth3 ports) handle data traffic
In the following example, the eth0a port on each controller provides the management path (red cables). The eth2b 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.
