Procedure
- Wire the ESXi hosts to physical switches and power supplies.
- Mount the servers in a rack.
- Connect all the physical server Ethernet ports to the two physical switches in a redundant network configuration, as shown in the following table.
The following table shows the physical servers and their network configurations:
Host Network Controller
Ethernet Port
Physical Switch
1
Port 0

1
Port 1
2
2 (Compute cluster host)
Port 0

2 (Compute cluster host)
Port 1

Note:Compute cluster hosts in the Telco Cloud Platform RAN deployment must have at least four Ethernet ports.
- On each ESXi host, connect and configure the embedded management controllers such as Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).
