TCP/IP Networking
SnapScale nodes ship with either four 1GbE or 10GbE ports at the rear for network
connections. The Storage network ports are always bonded using Failover mode. The Client
network ports are bonded by default using Load Balance (ALB), but can be changed after the
cluster is created to one of the other bonding modes:
•
Failover
•
Switch Trunking
•
Link Aggregation (802.3ad)
See
The
TCP/IP Networking
page provides configuration of the common cluster network settings,
the static Management IP address, and the pool of static IP addresses to automatically assign
to cluster nodes.
NOTE: If the Client network runs a DHCP server, be sure the static IP addresses assigned to the
nodes and Management IP are excluded from DHCP assignment.
IP Address
The unique 32-bit value that identifies the node on a network
subnet. This is automatically assigned to each node from the
pool of IP addresses configured on the cluster.
Speed/Duplex Status
Speed – Ethernet link speed.
Duplex Status – Full-duplex; simultaneous two-way data flow.
Ethernet Address
The unique six-digit hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) number that
identifies the Ethernet port (xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx).
