Information You Need

4.What is the subnet mask of the first adapter? (255.255.255.0)

If you do not specify a value for this, a default mask is chosen. You will most likely just accept the default. However, in this example, we are showing a value for the subnet mask just to illustrate the correlation between the “dummy” information in Figure 4-1and where that information is specified or generated during clic_init and SAM.

5.What is the IP address of the second adapter (clic1)? (192.0.8.3)

6.What is the subnet mask of the second adapter? (255.255.225.0)

7.Do you want to enable switch management? Remember, you cannot enable switch management through SAM (you must use the clic_init command).

As stated earlier, we recommend that you do not enable switch management. However, if you do enable it, you must provide the information in items 8 through 14:

8.If switch management has been enabled, how many switches will be configured? As stated earlier, we recommend that you do not enable switch management.

9.What is the IP address of the first switch (sw_clic0)? (193.0.0.20)

10.What is the Ethernet hardware address of the first switch? (0060b0d00257)

11.What is the IP address of the second switch (sw_clic1)? (193.0.0.21)

12.What is the Ethernet hardware address of the second switch? (0060b0d00256)

13.What is the Multicast address for the switches to use? (226.10.1.1)

14.What is the IP address for the LAN card on the same subnet as the switches? (193.0.0.10)

(Looking at Figure 4-1,this is the IP address for lan0 on node A.)

On node B:

1.How many HyperFabric adapters are installed on the node?

2.Do you want this node to interoperate with nodes running any HyperFabric 10.20 version or HyperFabric versions earlier than B.11.00.11 or B.11.11.01?

3.What is the IP address of the first adapter (clic0)? (192.0.0.2)

4.What is the subnet mask of the first adapter? (255.255.255.0)

If you do not specify a value for this, a default mask is chosen. You will most likely just accept the default. However, in this example, we are showing a value for the subnet mask just to illustrate the correlation between the “dummy” information in Figure 4-1and where that information is specified or generated during clic_init and SAM.

5.What is the IP address of the second adapter (clic1)? (192.0.8.4)

6.What is the subnet mask of the second adapter? (255.255.225.0)

7.Do you want to enable switch management? Remember, you cannot enable switch management through SAM (you must use the clic_init command).

As stated earlier, we recommend that you do not enable switch management. However, if you do enable it, you must provide the information in items 8 through 14 below.
