Networking Options (with 10, 25, or 100GB Data Switches)

Standard configurations include two types of Ethernet switches - one for consolidation of management/IPMI traffic and another for use in networking data traffic. The management switch is common to all three system options. The data switch options range from a 10Gbps switch at the "Value" option, to a 25Gbps switch for the "Balanced" option, or a 100Gbps switch for the "Performance" option.
