2-1. Cluster Network Overview
When all nodes are normally running without hardware issues, begin to construct cluster cabling. There are
three types of network ports as below.

Management ports: Administrator manages the cluster via these ports

Internal network ports: Nodes communicate via these ports

Front-end network ports: Clients access the cluster data via these ports
You must take note of the following port combinations. After selecting the combination, follow the steps to
configure the cluster.
