A‑Link and Private Networks

This private network is referred to as priv0, which is a physical, direct Ethernet, or VLANed connection between the nodes. Priv0 is used for peer node discovery and can have no other entities on it that respond to IPv4 broadcasts.

In addition to priv0, each system has A-Link networks to increase data-replication performance between the PMs. A-Link networks let you sync disks, shunt networks, and migrate VMs.

The A-Links and priv0 are connected between the PMs in the same manner. The A-Links are connected between the blue () and yellow (• •) network ports of each PM, where priv0 is shared with the A-Link on the blue () network.
