Network Architecture

Ethernet networks provide pathways for communications between the two physical machines (PMs), or nodes, of the system. The main types of Ethernet networks are:

• Availability Link networks, or A-Link networks (on the blue (• or A2 on some systems) and yellow ( • • or A1 on some systems) network ports) are assigned to virtual machines (VMs) and are used to synchronize data or migrate VMs between two PMs. One A-Link network (on the blue (A2 or •) network port), is a private network (priv0) that connects the two ztC Edge PMs. For more information, see A‑Link and Private Networks.
• Business networks (on the P1 network port, and P2 if enabled) allow your applications to connect to your existing network. One business network (on the P1 network port) is also a management network (ibiz0, sometimes referred to as network0) that connects to the ztC Console.
