⚠️ 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 mixed Ethernet + IB configurations.
