Dedicated interconnect using an Ethernet crossover cable—An Ethernet
crossover cable (supplied in the HP ProLiant Cluster Starter kit) can be used
to connect the NICs directly to create a dedicated interconnect. This option is
applies to only two-node clusters.
Dedicated interconnect using standard Ethernet cables and a private Ethernet
hub—Standard Ethernet cables can be used to connect the NICs through a
private Ethernet hub to create another type of dedicated interconnect. Do not
use an Ethernet crossover cable when using an Ethernet hub because the hub
performs the crossover function.
Shared interconnect using standard Ethernet cables and a public hub—
Standard Ethernet cables can also be used to connect the NICs to a public
network to create a non-dedicated interconnect.
Network Interconnect
Standard Ethernet cables are used to provide this type of connection.
