Network interfaces

HPE OmniStack hosts have physical 10 GbE and 1 GbE network interfaces. HPE OmniStack hosts use virtual networks to handle different network traffic. You can configure the network traffic to travel over both the 10 GbE and 1 GbE interfaces. For example, you can put the Management network on the 1 GbE interfaces and the Federation and Storage networks on the 10 GbE interfaces. You can also put all three networks on the 10 GbE interfaces.

Network interface	Description
Management	Handles infrastructure and virtual machine network traffic.
Storage	Handles virtual machine access to HPE OmniStack datastores.
Federation	Handles traffic between Virtual Controllers in a cluster, including heartbeat communications and HA (high availability) communications for each virtual machine in the cluster.
