Using the UDP layer for LLT

 

See “Sample configuration: direct-attached links” on page 161.

See “Sample configuration: links crossing IP routers” on page 163.

Table A-1describes the fields of the link command that are shown in the /etc/llttab file examples. Note that some of the fields differ from the command for standard LLT links.

Table A-1

Field description for link command in /etc/llttab

Field

Description

tag-name

A unique string that is used as a tag by LLT; for example link1,

 

link2,....

device

The device path of the UDP protocol; for example udp.

 

A place holder string. On other unix platforms like Solaris or HP,

 

this entry points to a device file (for example, /dev/udp). Linux

 

does not have devices for protocols. So this field is ignored.

node-range

Nodes using the link. "-" indicates all cluster nodes are to be

 

configured for this link.

link-type

Type of link; must be "udp" for LLT over UDP.

udp-port

Unique UDP port in the range of 49152-65535 for the link.

 

See “Selecting UDP ports” on page 160.

MTU

"-" is the default, which has a value of 8192. The value may be

 

increased or decreased depending on the configuration. Use the

 

lltstat -lcommand to display the current value.

IP address

IP address of the link on the local node.

bcast-address

For clusters with enabled broadcasts, specify the value of the

 

subnet broadcast address.

 

"-" is the default for clusters spanning routers.

The set-addr command in the /etc/llttab file

The set-addrcommand in the /etc/llttab file is required when the broadcast feature of LLT is disabled, such as when LLT must cross IP routers.

See “Sample configuration: links crossing IP routers” on page 163.

Table A-2describes the fields of the set-addr command.
