Internal Switches & Software Configuration Consistency
The configuration of the blade internal switches (Flex10) must be
consistent with the network configuration in the software application
Here are the main configuration principles:
„ Interfaces 1 are reserved to the system network of the blade center, for
management.
„ In the software application, it is possible to define networks of internal
data and external data .
„ On the Flex10:
™ A private network forbids the dialog between two blades of the
blade center.
™
Internal data networks and the System network must never be
set as private network .
™ External data networks must be set as private networks . For
example in an IP TV configuration in which blades generate
multicast, this prevents the multicast from affecting the blades.
Otherwise, if an
external data network is not set as a private
network , as long as no client has sent an IGMP request to
receive the stream, the network is flooded by the Flex10 on all
interfaces.
