6.1 Overview of Network Requirements
An Exalogic machine includes compute nodes, storage appliance, and equipment to
connect the compute nodes to your network. The network connections allow the
servers to be administered remotely, enable clients to connect to the compute nodes,
and enable client access to the storage appliance.
The following table describes the network components and interfaces for each
compute node and the storage appliance:
