Lexmark IBM 9077 SP Switch Hippi SP Switch Connection, Configuration of SP Switch Hippi SP Switch

Configuration:

In this scenario, we have the SP Switch of SP21 connected to an GRF 1600. The GRF 1600 has its HIPPI media card’s ports cross-connected to the GRF 400 HIPPI media card’s ports. That means that on both sides DESTINATION is cabled to SOURCE. The GRF 400 in turn is attached to the SP Switch of SP2, as shown in Figure 71 and Table 26. The netmask for all interfaces is 255.255.255.0.

Adapter	IP Address
SP Switch Router Adapter card 1	192.168.13.4

To successfully run this configuration, a route to the distant SP Switch network has to be set on every SP Switch Router. On the nodes of SP2 and SP21, respectively, routes to the nodes of the distant SP have to be set.
