Renaming the Local Area Connections

Note:
Use crossover cables for the network card adapters that
access the cluster nodes. If you do not use the crossover
cables properly, the system will not detect the network card
adapter that accesses the cluster nodes. If the network
card adapter is not detected, then you cannot configure the
network adapters during the Cluster Service installation.
However, if you install Cluster Service on both nodes, and
both nodes are powered on, you can add the adapter as a
cluster resource and configure it properly for the cluster
node network in Cluster Administrator.
Note:
The wiring determines which network adapter is private and
which is public. For the purposes of this chapter, the first
network adapter (Local Area Connection) is connected to
the public network, and the second network adapter (Local
Area Connection 2) is connected to the private cluster
network. This may not be the case in your network.
In order to make the network connection more clear, you can change the
name of the Local Area Connection (2). Renaming it will help you identify
