Figure 2-4 shows an example of network adapter cabling in which dedicated network adapters in each node are connected to the public network and the remaining network adapters are connected to each other (for the private network).

Cabling Your Public Network

The public network connection (client network) to the cluster nodes is provided by a network adapter that is installed in each node. Any network adapter supported by the system running TCP/IP may be used to connect to the public network segments. Additional network adapters may be installed to support additional separate public network segments or to provide redundancy for the public network.

Installing redundant network adapters provides your cluster with a failover connection to the public network. If the primary network adapter or a switch port fails, your cluster will be able to access the public network through the secondary network adapter until the faulty network adapter or switch port is repaired.

Using Dual-Port Network Adapters for Your Private Network

You can configure your cluster to use the public network as a failover for private network communications. However, if dual-port network adapters are used, do not use two ports simultaneously to support both the public and private networks.
