Predefined network profile: 4x10gb or 4x25gb NDC/OCP

VxRail nodes with four 10 Gb NDC/OCP ports connected to two ToR switches, and one optional connection to management switch for iDRAC

In this predefined network profile, VxRail selects all four ports on the NDC/OCP to support VxRail networking instead of two. The same number of cable connections should be made to each switch. This topology provides additional bandwidth over the two-port option, but provides no protection resulting from a failure with the network adapter card.
