Network adapter isolation configuration

In this configuration, the individual node network adapters are isolated from the other nodes in the sled. Any inter-node network traffic is routed to the external switches before being directed back to the destination nodes. The external ports on the embedded network switch (or switches) are configured into a single trunk or LAG for throughput and redundancy. The external rack switches are on the same network in this configuration.
NOTE: The network adapter isolation configuration also supports uplinks of all four ports to a single external rack switch.

This configuration enhances security, as security features like firewalls are installed in the external rack switches, and is useful in multi-tenant configurations.
