The private network address for the eth0/NIC1 port is reserved to provide a direct
connection from a laptop to perform the initial configuration. NIC1 (eth0) is typically
not connected to your network environment.

After initial configuration you can change the NIC1 (eth0) IP address to repurpose
the port.

To connect the nodes to the customer network

1

Choose which ports and method you want to use to connect to your network.

2

Plug an Ethernet cable into the IPMI port on each node.

3

Plug the other end of each Ethernet cable into a network switch.

Connecting Flex nodes to the network

Network ports on the rear panel of the compute node are shown in the following
diagram.
