NonStop NS1000 Planning Guide (H06.08+)

IP AddressComponent
DynamicSystem consoles
*If a combination of dynamic and static IP addresses are
used in the LAN configuration, HP recommends that the
maintenance switches and UPSs (if the system has them)
be configured with static IP addresses.**You do not need
to reconfigure the IP addresses for the TCP/IP processes.
For more information, see the NonStop NS1000 Hardware
Installation Manual.
Ethernet Cables
Ethernet connections for a dedicated service LAN require Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cables.
SWAN Concentrator Restrictions
• Isolate any ServerNet wide area networks (SWANs) on the system. The system must be
equipped with at least two LANs: one LAN for SWAN concentrators and one for the
dedicated service LAN.
• Most SWAN concentrators are configured redundantly using two or more subnets. Those
subnets also must be isolated from the dedicated service LAN.
• Do not connect SWANs on a subnet containing a DHCP.
System-Up Dedicated Service LAN
When the system is up and the OS running, the ME connects to the NonStop NS1000 system’s
dedicated service LAN using connections from the maintenance switch to ME ENET ports on
each VIO enclosure. To use the OSM Service Connection and OSM Notification Director, you
must have connections from the maintenance switch to Ethernet ports on each VIO enclosure.
For a fault-tolerant dedicated service LAN, two Ethernet ports are required; one port located in
VIO enclosure module 2 for X ServerNet fabric connectivity, and one port located in VIO enclosure
module 3 for Y ServerNet fabric connectivity. When the Ethernet port provides connection to
