X3-8 Full Rack and Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-8 Full Rack
When using a bonded network configuration for database client access on Oracle
Exadata Database Machine X3-8 Full Rack and Oracle Exadata Database Machine
X2-8 Full Rack, the database servers are configured as follows:
• Port NEM0/NET0: Provides access to the operating system using the
management network through the ETH0 interface.
• Port NEM0/NET1: Provides access to the database using the client access
network, and is bonded with port NEM1/NET3 to create the BONDETH0 interface.
• Port NEM1/NET3: Provides access to the database using the client access
network, and is bonded with port NEM0/NET1 to create the BONDETH0 interface.
• Port NET MGT: Provides access to ILOM using the management network.

When channel bonding is configured for the client access network during initial
configuration, the Linux bonding module is configured for active-backup mode (
mode=1
).
If a different bonding policy is preferred, then you may reconfigure the bonding module
after initial configuration. For configuration details, refer to the Linux Ethernet Bonding
