The customer is responsible for establishing the route between the user/cluster subnet and the
management subnet.
At the logical layer, all node access to the network goes through a bond interface to allow the
underlying physical layer to implement multiple pathways to the network. (The next section describes
how the bond interfaces map to the underlying physical interfaces.) In the flat configuration, all
access to the user, cluster, and management networks traverses the bond0 interface.
When correctly configured, the following should work:
Nodes should be able to ICMP ping all of the other network attached components, both on
the user/cluster subnet and the management subnet.
File Clients should be able to ICMP ping the nodes and the components on the management
subnet.
The protocols listed in Table 3 (page 27) must work between the components and should not
be blocked by intervening firewalls or routers.
