Note:
–
This network is unavailable if network channel bonding is used for the
client access network.
–
This network is optional. A cable is not required unless the network is
configured during deployment.

Additional network NET3 connection requirements
One Ethernet connection per database server to connect NET3 to your existing
network. The number depends on the system type, as follows:
–
8 connections for Oracle Exadata Database Machine 2-socket, full rack
systems
–
4 connections for Oracle Exadata Database Machine 2-socket, half rack
systems
–
2 connections for Oracle Exadata Database Machine 2-socket, quarter rack
systems
–
2 connections for Oracle Exadata Database Machine 8-socket, full rack
systems

This network is optional. A cable is not required unless the network is
configured during deployment.
Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-8 Full Rack has a total of 16 Ethernet ports per
server. The additional networks for Oracle Exadata Database Machine X2-8 Full Rack
are NET2 through NET15.
The following table shows examples of connection requirements for different sample
environments. The table applies to two-socket x86 Oracle Exadata Database Machine
X3-2 and later.

Scenario
Network Requirements
Core Requirements
•
1 for Ethernet switch
•
2 for PDU monitoring
Bonded network configuration, and connected
to a dedicated backup network
•
2 per database node for client access for
bonded Ethernet interface on database
servers
•
1 per database node for backup network
access for database servers
Total = 3 + (3 * number of database nodes)
