Default Sun Cluster Interconnect Cabling

Hi

I have a small two node Sun Cluster 3 setup which is using two cross over
cables for interconnects. I beleive the cross over cables are causing some
issues and wish to change it to use switches/hubs that sit in the middle.
For this I thik there are two options as below.
* Use two small hubs, one for each interconnect
* Use a single small switch for all interconnect cables

My question is will the later option work, or will the cluster detect
incorrect traffic on the interconnects (i.e. have confusion between each
interconnect "channel") and give me more problems than it would solve, or
would the switch sort itself out and isolate the network traffic on each
interconnect. The second option is my preferred as it requires only a single
power socket and one device. As this is only a play cluster I'm not too
concerned about single point of failure etc.

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Nick
