Fast Ethernet Interconnect Requirements
General Configuration Procedure
The following steps describe the network configuration phase of an interconnect.
Note: This procedure is the same whatever the interconnect type (Ethernet switch, or
FDDI hub).
Configure IP addresses
Ping and Rlogin between nodes.
Configuring Network Interfaces
Configuring the network interfaces (en1, en0 or fi1, fi0) regarding the interconnect on each
node:
For node #1 go to the following smit menu:
#smit mktcpip
according to the adapter type (Ethernet adapter, FDDI adapter)
select en0 or fi0
Minimum Configuration & Setup
To delete existing configuration data, please use Further
Configuration menus.
Type or select values in entry fields
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.
[Entry Fields]
*HOSTNAME [node1_X]
*Internet ADDRESS (dotted decimal) [100.100.100.1]
Network MASK (dotted decimal) [255.255.255.0]
*Network INTERFACE en0 (or fi0)
Your CABLE Type dix (or tp) +
START Now yes +
For node #2 go to the smit menu:
#smit mktcpip
according to the adapter type (Ethernet 10/100 adapter, or FDDI adapter)
select en0 or fi0
Minimum Configuration & Setup
To delete existing configuration data, please use Further
Configuration menus.
Type or select values in entry fields
Press Enter AFTER making all desired changes.
[Entry Fields]
*HOSTNAME [node2_X]
*Internet ADDRESS (dotted decimal) [100.100.100.2]
Network MASK (dotted decimal) [255.255.255.0]
*Network INTERFACE en0 (or fi0 or sf0)
Your CABLE Type dix (or tp)+
START Now yes +
And proceed the same for the other nodes, if any, without forgetting incrementing IP
address.
There may be several interconnects in an Escala Powercluster configuration.
