This type of network configuration using both Ethernet connections is shown in Figure 5-3. Intrepid 6064 Directors are used as an example. Figure 5-3 Typical Network Configuration (Two Ethernet Connections) If only one management server connection is used and this connection is provided through the customer intranet, all functions provided by the server are available to users throughout the enterprise.
