Combined Provisioning and Data Network, and a Separate Management Network

Figure 2–3 Combined Provisioning and Data Network, and a Separate Management Network

Notes:

• An additional NIC does not need to be installed on the management server

• The combined provisioning and data network reduces system and network security

• The data network must use the N1 System Manager DHCP service

The statically-assigned management IP addresses and the dynamically assigned IP addresses used during OS provisioning are part of the same network. The N1 System Manager does not manage IP addresses. You must ensure that the IP addresses used during provisioning do not conflict with the management network IP addresses.
