Data cables are connected to two switches, for high availability, via the nodes' 10 G or
25 G ports. Management interfaces are connected to a switch on a separate
management network using onboard and BMC (iDRAC) ports.
In ESXi environments, the AMS/Discovery server must be on the same Layer 2
network as the ESXi management ports. This allows the use of the Broadcast protocol
for initial IP address configuration.
The BMC (iDRAC) IP address can reside on a different subnet and/or VLAN, and the
only requirement from the BMC (iDRAC) side is that the AMS (when used) must have
a routable IP Path to the BMC (iDRAC) IP address on the node.
