Configuring the Slave Renderer Network Ad-
dress
After installing Linux on the Slave Render, you must configure the IP of the
ethernet port that connects the Slave Render to your house network.
NOTE The address you choose must not conflict with any of the other IP addresses
on the network.
In a Lustre installation in which you have not altered any of the IP addresses
used by default, you can use 193.1.1.2 as the Slave Renderer IP address.
To configure the network address:
1 Start the Slave Renderer and log in as root.
2 Assign an IP address to the ethernet port that connects the Slave Renderer
to the network switch. The IP address must be in the same IP class as
your network.
TIP Typically, your Linux workstation's TCP/IP settings are configured in the
file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<port#> , where <port#> is the
port used to connect the Slave Renderer to the network, or directly to the
Master Station. For example, if the connection is on port 0 of the onboard
network card, the file you would edit would be
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.
