Local Cluster Configuration

Field

Description

 

 

Shared Management Network

The settings in this section apply to the entire system (both servers in

Settings

two-server configuration), whether management and signaling are combined

 

or separate.

 

 

Virtual host name

Virtual host name and IP address(es) for the system’s management (or

 

combined) network interface.

IPv4

For a one-server configuration, these fields are disabled. (Exception: If only

 

IPv6

IPv6 is enabled, the system must have two addresses, so a single-server

system must still have a virtual host name and IP address.)

 

 

Host names may contain only letters, numbers, and internal dashes

 

(hyphens), and may not include a domain. The reserved values appserv* and

 

dmamgk-* may not be used for host names.

 

The host name is combined with the domain name specified under General

 

System Network Settings to form the fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

 

Note: Specify all IPv4 addresses in dotted-decimal form and all IPv6

 

addresses in colon-hex form.

 

 

Subnet mask

IPv4 network mask that defines the subnetwork of the system’s management

 

or combined interface.

 

 

IPv6 prefix length

IPv6 CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) prefix size value (the number of

 

leading 1 bits in the routing prefix mask) that defines the subnetwork of the

 

system’s management or combined interface.

 

 

IPv4 gateway

IP address of the gateway server used to route network traffic outside the

 

subnet.

 

 

Management Link

 

 

 

Name

The name of the management network interface (eth0) is not editable, and it

 

can’t be disabled.

Enable

The eth0 interface corresponds with the GB1 jack on the server.

 

 

 

Auto-negotiation

Turn on Auto-negotiation or set Speed and Duplex manually.

 

Note: Auto-negotiation is required if your network is 1000Base-T. Don’t select

Speed

10000 unless you’re certain your hardware platform supports it.

 

Duplex

LAN Security Settings

Caution: In a network that requires 802.1x authentication for servers (this is

 

rarely the case), incorrect settings in this section and, if applicable, lack of the

 

proper certificate(s) can make the system unreachable. Recovering from this

 

situation requires connecting a laptop to the system using a crossover cable

 

in order to access it.

 

 

Enable 802.1x

Enables the system to authenticate this network interface to the LAN.

 

Depending on the authentication method, the access credentials required

 

may be either a user name and password (specified below) or a security

 

certificate.

 

 

User name

The user name with which the system may authenticate this interface.
