GE Ethernet network ports
The GE Ethernet Network ports are used to connect the server or cluster
node to the customer's data network (also called the public network), and
these ports may be aggregated into a single logical port (refer to the Network
Administration Guide for more information on creating aggregations). GE
ports operate at speeds of up to one (1) gigabit per second, and require the
use of a standard RJ45 cable connector.
The GE Customer Ethernet Network ports are labeled as shown next:
Once connected, each GE port has two indicator LEDs; one green and one
amber. These LEDs provide link status and network activity status
information as follows:

10 GbE Ports
10 Gigabit Ethernet cluster interconnect ports
The 10 gigabit per second Ethernet (10 GbE) cluster ports allow you to
connect cluster nodes together. The cluster ports are used only in a cluster
configuration. The 10 GbE ports operate at speeds of ten (10) gigabits per
second.
