Configuring The System Management Network; Choosing The Ip Address For The System Management Network - Sun Microsystems Netra CT 820 Administration Manual

Configuring the System Management
Network
The system management network provides a communication channel over the
midplane. It can be used to communicate between the distributed management card,
the node boards, and the switching fabric boards. It appears as any other generic
Ethernet port in the Solaris operating environment. The system management
network is configured by default on Solaris and on the distributed management
card. The system management network is used by the applications and features,
such as MOH, PMS, and console connections from the distributed management card
to node boards.
Choosing the IP Address for the System
Management Network
The IP address of the system management network on the node boards is formed as
follows: the midplane FRU ID field SysmgtbusIPSubnet contains the value
.slot_number. The default IP subnet address is c0a80d00
IP_subnet_address
(192.168.13.00) and the default IP subnet mask is 0xffffffe0 (255.255. 255.224).
When you power on the Netra CT server, and if you have not made any changes for
the system management network in the midplane FRU ID, the IP address of a board
installed in slot 3 will be configured to 192.168.13.3; if you then move that board to
slot 4, the IP address for that board will be configured to 192.168.13.4.
The IP address of the system management network on the active distributed
management card is always the midplane FRU ID field SysmgtbusIPSubnet value
.22.
IP_subnet_address
Note – If you configure multiple Netra CT 820 systems in the same subnet, make
sure each system has a different system management network IP subnet.
