NOTE: Dell recommends that you do not configure Default Gateway, NetBIOS, WINS, and DNS on your private network. If you are running Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003 disable NetBIOS on your private network.

If multiple cluster interconnect network adapters are connected to a network switch, ensure that all of the private network’s network adapters have a unique address. You can continue the IP address scheme in Table 3-2 with 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.4, and so on for the private network’s network adapters of the other clusters connected to the same switch.

Additional fault tolerance for the LAN segments can be achieved by using network adapters that support adapter teaming or by having multiple LAN segments. To avoid communication

problems in the private network, Dell recommends that you use dual-port network adapters for the cluster interconnect.

Creating Separate Subnets for the Public and Private Networks

The public and private network’s network adapters installed in the same cluster node must reside on separate IP subnetworks. Therefore, the private network used to exchange heartbeat information between the cluster nodes must have a separate IP subnet or a different network ID than the public network, which is used for client connections.

Setting the Network Interface Binding Order for Clusters Running Windows 2000

1On the Windows 2000 desktop, right-click My Network Places, and then click Properties.

The Network and Dial-up Connections window appears, displaying all available network interfaces.

2Click the Advanced menu and then click Advanced Settings. The Advanced Settings window appears.

3In the Adapters and Bindings tab in the Connections box, ensure that the Public connections are designated for Client access only or All communications are at the top of the list.

To change the connection order: a Click Public or Private.

b Click the up-arrow or down-arrow to move the connection type to the top or bottom of the Connections box.

c Click OK.

d Close the Network and Dial-up Connections window.

Setting the Network Interface Binding Order for Clusters Running Windows Server 2003

1Click the Start button, select Control Panel, and double-click Network Connections.

2Click the Advanced menu, and then click Advanced Settings. The Advanced Settings window appears.
