The main reason behind separate switches for private node communication is
for isolating hardware failures and ensure that redundancy prevails. Private
interconnects through patch panels would increase the number of points of
failure. With reliable hardware and running each private interconnect

Maybe I’m missing something here, but is there a switch connected somewhere in
the patch panel setup?
Just patch panel connection doesn’t work. They need to be connected to a

Andy,
As long as your cabling meets the ethernet standards, and tests
out to the standards you should be fine.
I recently worked on multiple cluster setup (a dozen or so
clusters, 5 nodes each) where each server's heartbeat connection went
through a patch panel back to the core
