Custom option: Any NDC/OCP ports paired with PCIe ports

Figure 1. VxRail nodes with any two 10/25 Gb NDC/OCP ports and two 10/25 Gb PCIe ports connected to two ToR switches, and one optional connection to management switch for iDRAC
VxRail nodes with any two 10/25 Gb NDC/OCP ports and two 10/25 Gb PCIe ports connected to two ToR switches, and one optional connection to management switch for iDRAC

This is an example of a custom cabling setup with two NDC/OCP ports and 2 PCIe ports that are connected to a pair of 10gb switches or 25gb switches. Any NDC/OCP port and any PCIe port can be selected to support VxRail networking. However, the two NICs assigned to support a specific VxRail network must be of the same type and running at the same speed.
