Configuration assumptions:
•The RS/6000 SP is partitioned in to two or more partitions (two partitions for this scenario).
Note: Be careful when choosing the partition layout. In every partition, a free Switch chip port to connect the SP Switch Router Adapter card is necessary.
• Every partition establishes a single subnet.
Note: Be careful when subnetting your SP partitions. Although not necessary when you simply partition your SP, it is required that every partition in effect form in a single subnet to establish a connection via an SP Switch Router. All other subnetting does not work.
•ARP should be enabled on the SP Switch network to provide the greatest flexibility in assigning IP addresses (strongly recommended!).
