ℹ️ Info
The Green Port - the leftmost RJ45 on the Cascade Lake CNode (The Green Port) is “reserved” and is not used in a VAST Deployment.
⚠️ Warning
Networking is configured on a per-CNode basis, it is possible for a chassis to have CNodes with differing configurations. If you are unsure of the configuration of a particular CNode, please contact VAST Support for assistance.
ℹ️ Note
Skip NIC cannot be used with multi-homed configurations.

ℹ️ Note
Using the Reverse NIC functionality together with Multi-home is supported, but has extremely limited use cases. Thus it is not documented here.
