 ### Network configuration
 The proposed configuration for a CORD POD is has the following network configuration on the head node:
 
-   - eth0 / eth1 - 40G interfaces, not relevant for the test environment.
-   - eth2 - the interface on which the head node supports PXE boots and is an internally interface to which all
-   the compute nodes connected
+   - eth0 / eth1 - fabric interfaces (40G or 10G), not relevant for the test environment.
+   - mgmtbr - the bridge on which the head node supports PXE boots and is an internally interface to which all
+   the compute and VM nodes connected. This bridge uses eth2 as its bridge ports
    - eth3 - WAN link. the head node will NAT from eth2 to eth3
-   - mgmtbr - Not associated with a physical network and used to connect in the VM created by the openstack
    install that is part of XOS
 
 The Ansible scripts configure MAAS to support DHCP/DNS/PXE on the eth2 and mgmtbr interfaces.
