The Connectrix service processor provides for dual Ethernet support
via two Ethernet adapter cards. The purpose of dual Ethernet
adapters is to isolate Connectrix devices from the data center
network, and to provide a single access point for managing multiple
directors in a Connectrix complex. This is accomplished by
dedicating one Ethernet connection to a private Connectrix network,
and the other connection to the data network.
Refer to Planning Ethernet LAN Connections on page 5-25 for more
information.
