v 10.1.1.1 for the first node
v 10.1.1.2 for the joining node
If they are not, it is recommended that you set them to those values.

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 integrated Ethernet
controller 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 35 for a further example.
4. Use the networking information in Table 1 on page 8 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) .
