■
Make sure that the LLT private links are on different physical networks.
If the LLT private links are not on different physical networks, then make sure
that the links are on separate subnets. Set the broadcast address in /etc/llttab
explicitly depending on the subnet for each link.
See “Broadcast address in the /etc/llttab file” on page 158.
■
Make sure that each NIC has an IP address that is configured before configuring
LLT.
■
Make sure the IP addresses in the /etc/llttab files are consistent with the IP
addresses of the network interfaces.
■
Make sure that each link has a unique not well-known UDP port.
See “Selecting UDP ports” on page 160.
■
Set the broadcast address correctly for direct-attached (non-routed) links.
See “Sample configuration: direct-attached links” on page 161.
■
For the links that cross an IP router, disable broadcast features and specify
the IP address of each link manually in the /etc/llttab file.
See “Sample configuration: links crossing IP routers” on page 163.
Broadcast address in the /etc/llttab file
The broadcast address is set explicitly for each link in the following example.
■
Display the content of the /etc/llttab file:
# cat /etc/llttab
set-node Node0
set-cluster 1
link link1 udp - udp 50000 - 10.20.30.1 10.20.30.255
link link2 udp - udp 50001 - 10.20.31.1 10.20.31.255
■
Verify the subnet mask using the ifconfig command to ensure that the two
links are on separate subnets.
# ifconfig
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:AC:2B:E4
inet addr:10.20.30.1 Bcast:10.20.30.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:AC:2B:E5
inet addr:10.20.31.1 Bcast:10.20.31.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
The link command in the /etc/llttab file
