Logical description
Figure 8 IBRIX 9730 unified network — logical view
Logically, the unified configuration is a single, large IP network with a separate subnet for the
9730 management components. In Figure 8, the IP addresses show the relationship between
components and subnets. (The subnet mask and IP address assignments shown here are for
illustration purposes only; customer address allocation schemes can be done differently.)
The customer is responsible for establishing the route between the user/cluster subnet and the
management subnet.
At the logical layer, all FSN access to the network goes through a bond interface to allow the
underlying physical layer to implement multiple pathways to the network. (The next section describes
how the bond interfaces map to the underlying physical interfaces.) In the unified configuration,
all access to the user, cluster, and management networks traverses the bond0 interface.
