Lexmark IBM 9077 manual SP Switch

Configuration assumptions:

•The SP Switch Router Ethernet media card has been installed according to Section 4.1, “Ethernet 10/100Base-T Configuration” on page 105 and works properly.

•The SP Switch Router Adapter card has been installed according to Section 3.7, “Step-by-Step Media Card Configuration” on page 86 and works properly.

•The SP Switch Router Adapter card and SP processor node Switch adapters are in the same IP subnet.

•ARP should be enabled on the SP Switch network to provide the most flexibility in assigning IP addresses (strongly recommended!).

•If ARP is disabled on the SP Switch network, the IP addresses assigned to the nodes must be determined by the Switch node numbers. Refer to PSSP Planning, Volume 2, Control Workstation and Software Environment for details.
