2.2.1.2 Local Network IP Addresses and Host Names Worksheet
Collect the information listed in TABLE 2-1 to connect hosts to the LAN. Ask your
network administrator for help, if necessary. This information is not needed for a
stand-alone installation.
You might need the MAC (Ethernet) addresses of the local hosts to make name
server database entries. You can see the MAC address in the console output while
booting the blade server. You can also find it on the barcode label on the node blade
server (see Section 1.7.1, “Locating the Part Number and Serial Number
Information” on page 1-13).
