Setup Configuration
Setup Configuration
The setup configuration is a stand-alone LAN used to configure Internet protocol (IP)
addresses. These IP addresses allow a system console to communicate with the
master service processors (MSPs) in the server as shown in Figure 10-1. Actual
connections vary depending upon the Ethernet switch or hub you use.
Procedure to Create the Setup Configuration
On a new server, all these tasks must be performed before you can expand to the
operating configuration:
Do not use the setup configuration as your working configuration. It lacks fault
tolerance. Add fault tolerance to the setup configuration by connecting a backup
system console and a second Ethernet switch or hub. See Operating Configuration
on
page 10-3.
