Ethernet Cluster Interconnect Diagrams
Figure 2-29 shows the non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect
components used in a two-node PDC/O2000 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.
