| We are configuring 2 node MS clustering . We have 4 network cards . 1 for public and 2 for private heartbeat (private1 and private2 ) and one not used at this moment.For private network we have set speed 10MBPS half duplex and not kept autodetect settings .Now I have following questions .1. IS speeed of 10 MBPS half duplex ok for private network.2. In Cluster administration , I c only 2 networks (private1 and public). I am not able to specify the extra redundant private network . How can I do this . If I rename public as private2 , it gives some error but rename still works (It seems public network is seen as private2 in clus admin and private2 network becomes private2(2) in network manager. |

Because one of KB articles 254101 says one can provide redundant private network if one wants to and has a possibility to do so using priority in cluster admin network priority . |

| You can just use public link as redundant heartbeat. |
