The HCP back-end network is specifically designed to handle internal cluster traffic such as inter-node communication. This traffic type is critical for maintaining cluster synchronization, managing metadata, balancing loads, and ensuring consistent data storage and retrieval across the nodes in the cluster. Other types of traffic, like BMC access (A), tenant management console access (B), and replication traffic (D), typically occur over separate management or front-end networks. The "HCP Network Configuration and Management Guide" provides detailedinformation on network segmentation and the roles of different network types in an HCP environment.
Question # 10
Which two ports on an HCP G10 node are used for back-end network connection"? (Choose two.)
The HCP G10 nodes useeth2andeth3ports for back-end network connections. These ports are configured for communication between the nodes and storage or within the HCP cluster itself. Back-end networks typically handle internal data traffic, replication, and synchronization, and therefore use specific dedicated ports to ensure optimal performance and separation from front-end client traffic.
The back-end network is crucial for internal HCP operations, and using eth2 and eth3 aligns with standard configurations as defined in the installation guidelines for maintaining proper data flow and redundancy.
