Interface

Type:: InterfaceType
The InterfaceType element consists of an IP address, the name of a computer or machine in the network (also called a cluster domain node), and the name of a network interface card (NIC) on that cluster domain node.
Occurrence rules:: You must specify one or more Interface elements in your PhysicalNetworkType element.

LogicalSubnet

Type:: IPAddressType
A IPAddressType element contains all the details of an IP address such as: the base address, the subnet mask, and the name of the network to which the IP address belongs.
Occurrence rules:: You can include zero or more LogicalSubnet elements in your PhysicalNetworkType element.
