		+	== Network Requirements for C-210 M1 Servers ==
		+
		+	*When you install ESXi 4.0, connect the VMKernel port for the ESX Management Network to the virtual switch that is connected to the public network.
		+
		+	*During the ESXi 4.0 installation, be sure to enable the second Network Interface Card so you can use it to connect to the private network.
		+
		+	* You are required to configure the UCCE/ICM public and private networks for the ICM components on the C-210 M1 servers the same as on the MCS servers.
		+
		+	* To configure the network for the VMs using the vSphere client, do the following:
		+	** Create a virtual switch connected to a 1GB physical port on the server.
		+	** Connect this physical port to the public network, and associate the virtual machine's network adapter to this virtual switch. See [http://docwiki-dev.cisco.com/wiki/UCS_Network_Configuration_for_UCCE#Configuring_the_ESXi_Host_Network_for_the_Virtual_Machines Configuring the ESXi Host Network for the Virtual Machines] for instructions.
		+
		+	:You need to do the same for the private network as required by certain ICM components, such as the Router, Logger, and PGs.
		+
		+	* All the VMs on the ESXi host are connected to the public virtual switch, and to the private virtual switch as required by the ICM component. In other words, all the VMs are sharing the same 1 GB physical Ethernet ports: one connected to the public network, and one connected to the private network.
		+
		+	Figure 9 illustrates how to configure the vSwitches and vmnic adapters on a C-Series server. Figure 10 illustrates a sample UCS C-Series server network configuration for UCCE components that require both Public and Private network connections.
