Configuring HyperFabric
Information You Need

❏ For each node in the fabric, you need the IP address of the node’s Ethernet LAN
interface that is on the same subnet as the switches. (As mentioned earlier, a node
might have multiple LAN interfaces.) Note that if you do not have switch
management enabled, you do not need this information (clic_init will not prompt
you for it).
As stated earlier, we recommend that you do not enable switch management.
IMPORTANT You should also check your /etc/hosts file—when you are using files for host name look
up—to ensure that the entries for all of the systems are in the correct format: the official
host name, which is the full domain extended host name, and any alias names. For
example:
IP_address bently6.corp3.com bently6
IP_address bently4.corp7.com test1
IP_address bently2.corp4.com test3
