Thanks for your answer

MON-MGR hosts have a mgmt network and a public network.
OSD nodes have instead a mgmt network, a  public network. and a cluster
network
This is what I have in ceph.conf:

public network = 192.168.61.0/24
cluster network = 192.168.222.0/24


public and cluster networks are 10 Gbps networks (actually there is a
single 10 Gbps NIC on each node used for both the public and the cluster
networks).
The mgmt network is a 1 Gbps network, but this one shouldn't be used for
such pings among the OSDs ...

Cheers, Massimo
