3 DISOBA Network Configuration
This section provides the hardware and software networking details that DISOBA ships
with. It provides details on the following network configuration:
 Private rack network setup
 S6000 switch configurations
 S60 swtich configurations
 Management and monitoring network
3.1 Private Rack Network Setup
In order to provide an out-of-box experience, DISOBA is built with a self-contained private
rack network that is pre-configured from the Dell factory before the solution is shipped
out. This helps to take out a lot of the hardware and software network configuration effort
needed to be done at the customer site. This is achieved by pre-defining the private IP
addresses for all the hardware components in the solution rack. Proper care was taken
while designing the private rack network to ensure that it is isolated and will not interfere
with the customer’s public environment.
Table 4 shows the pre-assigned private IP addresses for the various DISOBA hardware
components. End users should refer to Table 4 to get the specific IP addresses to be able
to remotely connect to the needed DISOBA hardware component via the management
server. The name of the hardware component listed in Table 4 starts with the rack unit
number that that component is placed in, in the rack. For example, U41-S6000 refers to
the S6000 switch that is located at rack unit #41 in the DISOBA solution rack.
NOTE: All the customer network facing adapters - the Oracle public network adapters on
the two database nodes, the public adapters (bonded) and the iDRAC network port on the
management server, are not pre-configured with an IP address. This is due to the
dependency on the customer’s network policy. Hence, these adapters need to be
configured at the customer’s site.
