Note: The worksheet has default IP addresses filled out in case they were not provided by the customer
during the TDA process. Before setting any default IP addresses have the customer confirm that they are
not currently in use by the associated networks.
Customers must fill in the following values so that the SSR is able perform the required networking tasks.
If there are more than one building blocks are being installed, you will need to add the corresponding
rows.
Recommendations:
• Keep all management interfaces on 192.168.x.x/24 (netmask 255.255.255.0).
• Keep all BMC/FSP (HMC1) interfaces on 10.0.0.x/24 (netmask 255.255.255.0).
Note: The EMS has an additional FSP connection at C11-T2, which is visible to the operating system.
Important: All IP addresses must on the same subnet. For example,
• All management interfaces on 192.168.x.x/24
• All FSP interfaces on 10.0.0.x/24
ESS 3200/3500 notes:
The ESS 3200 has a single interface for both the BMC and Management interfaces. When mixed with an
ESS 5000, you must apply changes to your switch, which would configure a set of ports specific to ESS
3200.
The ESS 3500 has dedicated management (f1) and BMC (f0) interfaces. The management interfaces are
connected to the yellow network, while the BMC interfaces are connected to the green trunk ports.
In both ESS 3200 and ESS 3500 proper switch configuration and VLAN tag should be set to route traffic
from the BMC to the blue service/FSP network.
ESS 3000 notes:
The ESS 3000 has a single interface per canister used for the management network only (yellow network).
There is no BMC connection in ESS 3000.
Campus or remote connection notes:
A POWER9 EMS campus connection must be set prior to deployment (C11-T3). This allows remote access
to the EMS and ensures you will not lose a connection when starting the container. Optionally, space is
also allocated to set a campus connection on the HMC2 port. This will allow remote access to the FSP
which aids the recovery of the node (console/power control) in case of an outage.
The SSR is provided the commands to set the campus interface (C11-T3) and HMC2 port connection
to the customer campus connection. If C11-T3 (POWER9 EMS) is not in place or the IP address not
provided to the SSR at time of Install Complete may still, consider the task complete. It will be up to the
customer/LBS to set this connection before deployment can begin.
