근거문서1. Oracle® Database Oracle Cluster ware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide10g Release 2 (10.2) 메뉴얼에도  다음과 같이 unsupport 한다고 설명하고 있습니다.


1  Introduction to Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters
   –  The Oracle Clusterware Architecture and Oracle Clusterware Processing
Oracle recommends that you configure a redundant interconnect to prevent the interconnect from being a single point of failure. Oracle also recommends that you use User Datagram Protocol (UDP) on a Gigabit Ethernet for your cluster interconnect. Crossover cables are not supported for use with the Oracle Cluster ware or RAC databases

RAC Frequently Asked Questions 으로 Crossover Cable은 지원되지 않는다고 명시되어 있습니다.

 

Q> Is crossover cable supported as an interconnect with 9iRAC/10gRAC on any platform ?

A> NO. CROSS OVER CABLES ARE NOT SUPPORTED.

The requirement is to use a switch:

Detailed Reasons:

1) cross-cabling limits the expansion of RAC to two nodes

2) cross-cabling is unstable:

a) Some NIC cards do not work properly with it.

b) Instability. We have seen different problems

e.g.ORA-29740 at configurations using crossover cable, and other errors.

Due to the benefits and stability provided by a switch,

and their afforability, this is the only supported configuration.
