Networks for a StarlingX Simplex System

For a StarlingX Simplex system, only the OAM network and additional external networks are used.

StarlingX Simplex uses a small hardware footprint consisting of a single host. Unlike other StarlingX deployments, this configuration does not require management or cluster host network connections for internal communications. An OAM network connection is used for administrative and board management access. For external connectivity of container payloads, either the OAM port or other configured ports on the node can be used.

The management and cluster host networks are required internally. They are configured to use the loopback interface.

Note

You can enable secure HTTPS connectivity on the OAM network.
