Configuring the public local area connection
Note: While the public network adapter’s IP address can be automatically obtained
if a DHCP server is available, this is not recommended for cluster nodes. It
is strongly recommended that you set static IP addresses for all network
adapters in the cluster. If IP addresses are obtained through DHCP, access
to cluster nodes could become unavailable if the DHCP server goes down.
To configure each public local area connection, perform the following steps on each
node:
1. Right-click My Network Places , then click Properties .
2. Select a Local Area Connection .
When you perform this step, the connection that uses the IBM 10/100 Adapter is
the private connection. The other active connection is the public connection.
Use that other active connection for this step and the next step.
3. To rename the connection, click Rename , and then type (for example) Public 1 ,
and press Enter . Ensure that local area connection names are unique.
When you perform these renaming steps for the joining node, ensure that the
local area connection name for each physically connected network is identical
on each server. See Table 3 on page 39 for a further example.
4. Use the networking information in Table 1 on page 7 to enter the networking
addresses:
a. Right-click
My Network Places .
b. Click Properties .
c. Right-click the Public icon, and then click Properties .
d. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) .
e. Click Properties , select Use the following IP address: , and enter the
addresses for the IP, subnet mask, default gateway, and preferred DNS
server.
5. If needed, configure the DNS, WINS, HOSTS, or whichever method you will be
using for names resolution. To view this information, click the Advanced button
on the Properties window.
6. Click OK on each panel to return to the Properties window.
