This deployment supports only a non-converged network configuration. This requires two dual-port NICs for each MC node. As mentioned earlier in this deployment guide, each MC node will also ship with an additional (third) dual-port NIC. This third NIC is dedicated for the SDS networks.
The following diagram shows the intent layout for this platform, including the third NIC used exclusively for the SDS networks (NIC 6 in this example).
The configuration for this new SDS intent is covered later in this deployment guide.
