Note
The subnet mask and default gateway of the data networks cannot be modified after
initial configuration. If you plan to have 1024 nodes in your VxFlex OS system, plan for
a subnet allowing 1025 IP addresses for SVM, and 1024 IP addresses for hosts per
data network. IP address pools may be modified to allow additional IP addresses to be
added to new nodes.
Cabling
Ensure that you have the correct quantity of cables. Calculate the amount of
cables needed, as described below.
For RJ45 NIC ports on your switch, you need Cat6 6 m Ethernet cables (these
cables are included with the server nodes), four cables per node.
