Network Configuration

Network Configuration is used to specify items relating to network interfaces like
XSCF-LANs and Domain-SP Communication Protocol(DSCP), also, routing, and
DNS.

Network Configuration Terms
TABLE 2-1
Term Explanation
XSCF network General term for an interface required in XSCF network configuration. Such interfaces
interface include the following:
[First XSCF Unit]
• XSCF-LAN#0 (Active side)
• XSCF-LAN#1 (Active side)
• Inter SCF Network (ISN) (Active side) (If the XSCF Unit is redundant)
[Second XSCF Unit] (If the XSCF Unit is redundant)
• XSCF-LAN#0 (Standby side)
• XSCF-LAN#1 (Standby side)
• ISN (Standby side)
Takeover IP address (If the XSCF Unit is redundant)
• XSCF-LAN#0s
• XSCF-LAN#1s
Domain-SP Communication Protocol (DSCP):
• XSCF side (One IP address is required.)
• Domain side (One IP address is required for each domain, therefore, the IP addresses
ISN This network is between two XSCF Units (active and standby). ISN is used for a system
with a redundant XSCF configuration.
Takeover IP address A takeover IP address (virtual IP address) is set between each XSCF#x-LAN#0's Unique
addresses of two XSCF Units. The XSCF#x-LAN#1s are also the same. Even if the active
XSCF and the standby XSCF are switched, the IP address takeover can be done at each
"LANs".
DSCP This interface protocol is used between XSCF and a domain. DSCP settings are made
with XSCF. The network of the domains and the XSCF connected by DSCP might be
called DSCP links.
Note – Systems with two XSCF Units can only be M8000/M9000 servers.
