Figure 5-4 shows the non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect components
used in a two-node PDC/O1000 cluster. These components include a dual-port
Ethernet adapter in each node. The top port on each adapter connects by
Ethernet crossover cable to the top port on the adapter in the other node. The
bottom port on each adapter connects by Ethernet cable to the client LAN
switch or hub.
