Static LAG
NOTE: The image shows two external rack switches. However, the standard configuration also
supports uplinks of all four ports to a single external rack switch.
Network adapter isolation configuration
In this configuration, the individual node network adapters are isolated from the other nodes in the sled.
Any inter-node network traffic is routed to the external switches before being directed back to the
destination nodes. The external ports on the embedded network switch (or switches) are configured into
a single trunk or LAG for throughput and redundancy. The external rack switches are on the same
network in this configuration.
NOTE: The network adapter isolation configuration also supports uplinks of all four ports to a single
external rack switch.
This configuration enhances security, as security features like firewalls are installed in the external rack
switches, and is useful in multi-tenant configurations.

this configuration.
