Network adapter isolation configuration
In this configuration, the individual node network adapters are isolated from the other nodes in the sled. Any inter-node network
traffic is routed to the external switches before being directed back to the destination nodes. The external ports on the
embedded network switch (or switches) are configured into a single trunk or LAG for throughput and redundancy. The external
rack switches are on the same network in this configuration.
NOTE: The network adapter isolation configuration also supports uplinks of all four ports to a single external rack switch.
This configuration enhances security, as security features like firewalls are installed in the external rack switches, and is useful in
multi-tenant configurations.

Isolated networks configuration
In this configuration, each of the two LOMs on a node is mapped to separate pass-through modules (PTM) and external rack
switches, to provide maximum redundancy. The two external switches are on separate networks in this configuration.
