ASM interconnect network configuration examples: The illustrations in this section show sample ASM interconnect network configurations.

The following illustration shows an Ethernet cable connecting the remote administrator system to the Remote Supervisor Adapter that is installed in an xSeries 445. Server 1 uses the LAN connection to forward system-management data generated by the other xSeries 445 server in the ASM interconnect network bus to the remote system-management administrator.
