The administration network
connection uses the 1 GbE
port even when using 10 GbE
ports for the other networks.

switches
Note:
When using a bonded network configuration, you must provide a network
switch capable of supporting the chosen bonding mode. For example, if mode
4 is configured (IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic link aggregation), then you must
supply and configure the network switch capable of supporting this bonding
mode. Requirements for specific bonding policies are documented in the Linux
Ethernet Bonding Driver HOWTO in the /usr/share/doc/kernel-
doc-2.6.39/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt directory on
any Oracle Exadata Database Machine database server.
2.4.1.2 Bonded Network Configuration for Oracle Exadata Database Machine
X7-8
When using a bonded network configuration for database client access on Oracle
Exadata Database Machine X7-8, the database servers are configured as follows:
• Port NET0: Provides access to the operating system using the management
network through the ETH0 interface.
• P1 at 3 PCIe 4: Provides access to the database using the client access network,
and is bonded with port P1 at 13 PCIe 12, to create the BONDETH0 interface.
• P2 at 13 PCIe 6: Provides access to the database using the client access network,
and is bonded with port P2 at 3 PCIe 14 to create the BONDETH1 interface.
• Port NET MGT: Provides access to ILOM using the management network.
The following table shows the port connections for Oracle Exadata Database Machine
X7-8 database servers when using channel bonding.
