+This page describes the basic network layout required in order for VCL to function. It 
+also describes the recommended network layout if a blade chassis management module is 
+used.
+
+# At the simplest form VCL uses two networks
+
+1. Private - applies to provisioning modules where node is reloaded, esx, vmware, etc.
+    * loading and boot strapping images
+    * managing reservations, adding/deleting accounts, controlling the OS on the node
+    * opens access ports on node for user requests on public network interface
+    * image creation
+    * DHCP serves fixed-addresses over this network to the eth0 adapter of the node
+    * DHCP is run on the management node - prerequisite
+2. Public
+    * user accessible
+    * VCL can either use dhcp(preferred) or statically assign addresses to the node on 
+the public network
+
+The diagram below shows the simple layout:
+

+
+# Blade Center network layout
+
+The network using blade center is more involved by adding a 2nd private network.
+
+1. Private 1 - applies to provisioning modules, xCAT, vmware, etc.
+2. Private 2
+    * allows management node to interact with blade center management module
+    * provides scaling method for adding multiple blade center's
+3. Public - user access
+
+The diagram below shows the suggested network layout when using blade center.
