Learn about additional network requirements for OPCM.
Ethernet Device Requirements
Before you begin, check that you have at least one 10 Gb Ethernet switch, router, or NIC device that supports any of the following:
SFP+ 10G-Base-SR Module
XFP 10G-Base-SR Module
QSFP Optical Module
Oracle recommends connecting the network drops to multiple 10GbE switches to ensure no single point of failure exists in the physical routing.
10 GbE Network Drops

1 GbE Network Drops
All OPCM physical components connect to the internal Cisco switch which intern needs to connect to customer 1GbE management network. The standard requirement is one network drop and if customer wants redundant connection, we can work with the customer for an additional network drop.
Oracle Advanced Support Gateway
Oracle Advanced Support Gateway (OASG) is the central enabling technology for OPCM to deliver cloud operations, remote monitoring, remote response and restoration, and patch deployment services.
The customer is responsible to provide permission for the internal firewall rules between the OASG and OPCM. See Firewall Rules Between the Gateway and Oracle Cloud Machine and Oracle Advanced Support Gateway Security Guide for more information.
