The Administration Network is a private network within
the HP XC system that is used primarily for administrative operations.
This network is treated as a flat network during run time (that is, communication
between any two points in the network is equal in communication time between
any other two points in the network). However, during the installation and
configuration of the HP XC system, the administrative tools probe
and discover the topology of the Administration Network. The Administration
Network requires and uses Gigabit Ethernet.
The Administration Network has at least one Root Administration
Switch and can have multiple Branch Administration Switches. These switches
are discussed in “Switches”.
