⚠️ Warning

Networking is configured on a per-CNode basis, it is possible for a cluster 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.
