When selecting a LAN, additional parameters are displayed on the right:
„ Interface : interface (NIC) of the node that is connected to this LAN.
Interface 1 is reserved for System private LAN. For more information
on interfaces of the blades, refer to
Appendix F ’Network Settings
(6RU and 10RU Devices)’ on page 249.
„
Data access : there are two types of networks:
™ Internal : reserved for communicating audio/video data between
nodes of the blade center.
™ External : used of audio/video data exchanged with the outside
(in input or in output), or for control-command.
„ Supervision address : this is a virtual IP address allocated to the master
node, allowing supervision of the VS7000 on this LAN. It allows to
connect to the VS7000 without knowing which node is currently the
master one. It is recommended to set it on the control-command
network.
„
First address : address of the first node. Node #1 will have this 1st
address, Node #2 will have this address plus 1, etc.
„
VLAN tagging : compliantly to the IEEE 802.1Q standard, VLAN
tagging allows grouping several Virtual LANs on a single Ethernet
network.
„ Maximum input bitrate and Maximum output bitrate : these bitrates
may be automatically computed. They indicate the maximum quantity
of data that the system is allowed to exchange on the network. These
values are used by the load-balancer to check that there is enough
network bandwidth to instantiate a job on a node.
„ All nodes : this mode lets you quickly configure the network on all the
nodes.
„ Ranges : use this mode if you want to apply a different configuration
on the nodes, for instance if you wish to authorize access to a network
only from some given nodes.
If you are using VLAN tagging to share an Ethernet network between
several VLANs, you must define the available bandwidth allocation
between the VLANs: this is done via the two above parameters.
