RE: Oracle Supported RAC Configuration

VLAN is an excellent solution, simpler IP-based subnetting works as well.  

From Oracle documentation:  

The private interconnect that Oracle Clusterware requires is a separate network that

you configure between the cluster nodes. This interconnect, which is required by RAC,

can be the same network that the clusterware uses, but the interconnect should not be

accessible by nodes that are not part of the cluster.
