2.6 Planning for the Dependent Node
Next, for each dependent node on the RS/6000 SP, define the following:
ParametersDescriptions
Node #A
Slot #The slot number on which the SP Switch Router Adapter is located in the GRF.
GRF hostnameThe hostname for the GRF administrative Ethernet. A long hostname is recommended if the domain name service (DNS) is used in the network. This represents both the Administrative and SNMP agent hostname of the dependent node.
SNMP community nameThis attribute describes the SNMP community name that the SP Extension Node SNMP Manager and the GRF’s SNMP Agent will send in the corresponding field of the SNMP messages. This value must match the value specified in the /etc/snmpd.conf file on the GRF. If left blank, a default name found in the SP Switch Router Adapter documentation is used.
SP Extension Node SNMP
Manager port #The SNMP port number used by the SP Extension Node SNMP Manager to communicate with the SNMP agent on the GRF.
This port number is 162 when the SP Extension Node SNMP Manager is the only SNMP manager on the Control Workstation. Otherwise, another port number not used in the /etc/services of the Control Workstation is chosen.
Then, for the dependent node adapter, define these parameters:
ParameterDescriptions
IP addressThe IP address of this adapter.
NetmaskThe netmask of this adapter. Use the same format as that for standard RS/6000 SP nodes.
Router Node 65
