Configuring the Public Network
NOTE: Ensure that the public IP address is a valid and routable IP address.
NOTE: Each of the two bonded NIC ports for the private network must be on
separate PCI buses. For example, a bonded pair can consist of one on-board NIC
and one add-on NIC card.
If you have not already configured the public network, perform the following
steps on
each node :
1 Log in as root .
2 Edit the network device file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth #,
where # is the number of the network device:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=<Public IP Address>
NETMASK=<Subnet mask>
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR=<MAC Address>
SLAVE=no
3
Edit the /etc/sysconfig/network file, and, if necessary, replace
localhost.localdomain with the qualified public node name.
For example, the command for node 1:
hostname=node1.domain.com
4
Ty p e : service network restart
5
Ty p e ifconfig to verify that the IP addresses are set correctly.
6 To check your network configuration, ping each public IP address from a
client on the LAN that is outside of the cluster.
7 Connect to each node to verify that the public network is functioning.
Ty p e
ssh <public IP> to verify that the secure shell (ssh) command
is working.
