The SP Switch Router Adapter card and SP processor nodes are IP-addressed nodes on the SP Switch network. Three basic configurations are building blocks for more complex networking topologies that include the SP Switch Router: 1.
  • Page 136: Example 1: Single Sp Switch Router Adapter Card, Single Sp Partition

    Network Configuration Examples Example 1: Single SP Switch Router Adapter card, single SP partition In this configuration, a single SP Switch Router Adapter card is connected to a single SP partition. The IP address of the SP Switch network is 198.174.11. The partition of SP nodes is shown in the shaded area of Figure C-1.
  • Page 137: Example 2: Multiple Cards, Single Partition

    Example 2: Multiple cards, single partition This network configuration divides the traffic for an SP processor node partition between two or more SP Switch Router Adapter cards and achieves some load leveling among the SP processor nodes. It provides dual, not truly redundant, connections to the router in case of SP Switch Router Adapter card failure.
  • Page 138: Configuration Tasks

    Network Configuration Examples Configuration tasks Given: – the IP network is 198.174.11.0 – the netmask is 255.255.255.0 – there can be up to 254 nodes on the network (including the two SP Switch Router Adapter cards) Configure the SP processor nodes with 198.174.11.0 as the network and 255.255.255.0 as the netmask.
