The illustrations in this section show sample ASM interconnect network
configurations.
The following illustration shows an Ethernet cable connecting the remote administrator

uses the LAN connection to forward system-management data generated by the other
xSeries 440s in the ASM interconnect network bus to the remote system-
management administrator.
