The dedicate Oracle ILOM port is not used due to sideband.
The Cisco Catalyst 4948 Ethernet switch supplied with Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 is minimally
configured during installation. The minimal configuration disables IP routing, and sets the
following:
Host name
■
IP address
■
Subnet mask
■
Default gateway
■
Domain name
■
Domain Name Server
■
NTP server
■
Time
■
Time zone
■
Additional configuration, such as defining multiple virtual local area networks (VLANs) or
enabling routing, might be required for the switch to operate properly in your environment and
is beyond the scope of the installation service. If additional configuration is needed, then your
network administrator must perform the necessary configuration steps during installation of
Oracle SuperCluster T5-8.
To deploy Oracle SuperCluster T5-8, ensure that you meet the minimum network requirements.
There are three networks for Oracle SuperCluster T5-8. Each network must be on a distinct and
separate subnet from the others. The network descriptions are as follows:

T5-8. It connects the servers, Oracle ILOM, and switches connected to the Ethernet switch
in the rack. There is one uplink from the Ethernet switch in the rack to your existing
management network.
Network connectivity to the PDUs is only required if the electric current will be
