ODA X3-2
The second-generation Oracle Database Appliance uses two X3 servers for the compute nodes. Each of these
servers has two sets of bonded Ethernet ports. By default, bond0 is used for public traffic, and bond1 is used for
auxiliary access, which is covered in detail in Chapter 6. Prior to installing the Oracle Database Appliance, connect
two cables to the eth2 and eth3 ports. Typically, these will be connected into separate switches in the datacenter for
fault tolerance. The default configuration of the bond will load balance traffic between the two ports, automatically
recovering from a single network path failure. Figure

connections on the rear of an X3-2 Oracle Database Appliance.
