1.7 Administration Network: Console Branch
The console branch is part of the private administration network within an HP XC system that
is used primarily for managing and monitoring the consoles of the nodes that comprise the HP
XC system. This branch of the network uses 10/100 Mbps Ethernet.

1.8 Interconnect Network
The interconnect network is a private network within the HP XC system. Typically, every node
in the HP XC system is connected to the interconnect.
in the HP XC system is connected to the interconnect.
The interconnect network is dedicated to communication between processors and access to data
in storage areas. It provides a high-speed communications path used primarily for user file
service and for communications within applications that are distributed among nodes of the
cluster.
