Step 3: Associating IP Addresses With MAC
Addresses
Figure 4-3 shows the location of the MAC address label on the rear panel of a SWAN 2
concentrator.
During SWAN concentrator configuration, you must associate an IP address with each
MAC address. Follow these guidelines when associating IP addresses with MAC
addresses:
•
The IP addresses associated with Ethernet Path A must be on the same subnet as
the preferred TCP/IP process. The IP addresses associated with Ethernet Path B
must be on the same subnet as the alternate TCP/IP process.
•
The IP addresses associated with Ethernet Path A must be on a different subnet
than the IP addresses associated with Ethernet Path B. (This should always be the
case because the preferred and alternate TCP/IP processes are configured on
different subnets.)
Record the IP addresses you assign to the MAC addresses on the lines provided on
the SWAN Concentrator Configuration-Planning Forms on page 4-11.
For conventional TCP/IP configuration, see the TCP/IP Configuration and Management
Manual.
For Parallel Library TCP/IP configuration, see the TCP/IP (Parallel Library)
Configuration and Management Manual. Note that Parallel Library TCP/IP is not
supported on Integrity NonStop NS-series servers.
For NonStop TCP/IPv6 configuration, see the TCP/IPv6 Configuration and
Management Manual.
