Network Cable Requirement for HA/Cluster Configuration with VA

Hi All,

Quick question in terms of network cable connection to establish an HA or cluster configuration between 2 nodes running the Virtual Appliance.

The servers are Dell R610's. Do I need a crossover cable running between both servers directly, or do/can both nodes communicate their heartbeat via a network switch?

What is the suggested configuration?

Thanks

Best would be a crossover cable directly connected since it is one point of failure less.
