1.3 About XC430 Xpress IT infrastructure
The XC430 Xpress appliance is designed so that a small IT staff can install and manage the entire IT
infrastructure. In this context, we have a management network and a production network.
Warning: Network communication between the Controller VM (CVM) and the host appliance leverages the
192.168.5.x IP subnet on a private virtual network. You cannot use the 192.168.5.x IP subnet for your
production or iDRAC management networks.
Note: Management network (iDRAC) may be located on the same or different IP subnet as production
network.
