Figure 18 IBRIX 9730 two additional physical user networks — physical view
Adding a physical user network results in an additional bonded interface on the FSN and a
corresponding redundant set of connections to switches in the customer network. For one additional
network, the FSN gains a bond2 interface and two external connections. For two additional
networks, the FSN gains bond2 and bond3 interfaces and four external connections.
The physical connections from the enclosure to the customer networks are routed through either
the VC modules or the OA modules. Network traffic between the enclosure and the customer
network must traverse these modules to exit the enclosure. All other physical connections are routed
internally via the enclosure’s midplane. Network traffic between servers within an enclosure is
routed through the VC modules and does not count against the total external bandwidth availability.
