Planning for a Dedicated Service LAN

System consoles for OSM and TSM connect to a server through a dedicated Ethernet

LAN. Ethernet cables are connected from the Ethernet ports on the PMF CRUs in

group 01 to Ethernet switches or hubs, and system consoles then connect to the

Ethernet switches or hubs. Refer to Fault-Tolerant Dedicated Service LAN

Configuration on page 11-6 for an illustration of several system consoles connected to

a server.

Initial Dedicated Service LAN Configuration

New systems are shipped with an initial set of IP addresses configured. These initial IP

addresses are listed and illustrated in Initial IP Addresses for System and System

Consoles on page 8-18.

Factory-default IP addresses for E4SAs can be found in the LAN Configuration and

Management Manual. IP addresses for SWAN concentrators can be found in the WAN

Subsystem Configuration and Management Manual.

HP recommends that you change these preconfigured IP addresses to addresses

appropriate for your LAN environment. You must change the preconfigured IP

addresses on:

•

A backup system console if you want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN that

already includes a primary system console or other system console

•

Any system console if you want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN that

already includes a primary system console or to a secure operations LAN

•

The MSP and Ethernet port IP addresses of any NonStop S-series server if you

want to connect it to a dedicated service LAN or secure operations LAN that

already includes another NonStop S-series server

Keep track of all the IP addresses in your system so that no IP address is assigned

twice.
