Cluster Compute Node IP Addresses
The cluster system can have multiple compute nodes that each use up to three IP address points
(plus the Infiniband IP address). As with the head nodes, each fourth octet number in an address
iterates by one number as a compute node is added to the list.
Table 1-3 shows the factory assigned
IP address settings for compute nodes one through four.

Compute node2 10.0.1.2 192.168.1.2 172.16.1.2 10.0.40.2
Compute node3 10.0.1.3 192.168.1.3 172.16.1.3 10.0.40.3
Compute node4 10.0.1.4 192.168.1.4 172.16.1.4 10.0.40.4
Note: The management (internal cluster administration port) IP address and the BMC/IPMI
address are shared by the same network interface port (nic1). The circuitry allows the same
physical Ethernet port to share two separate IP address references.
Switch Connect and IP Address
The following subsections list the factory IP address for switches that may be used with your
cluster.
