Predefined network profile: 2 x 10/25 GB NDC/OCP and 2 x 10/25 GB PCIe

In this predefined network profile option, two NDC/OCP ports and two ports on the PCIe card in the first slot are selected for VxRail networking. The network profile splits the VxRail networking workload between the NDC/OCP ports and the two switches, and splits the workload on the PCIe-based ports between the two switches. This option ensures against the loss of service with a failure at the switch level, and also with a failure in either the NDC/OCP or PCIe adapter card.
