Hardware Delivery - 1RU device
Network Configuration
On 1RU devices, the factory network configuration is as follows:
Interface 1: LAN 10, System private LAN.
Interface 2: LAN 20, Management LAN.
Interface 3: LAN 30, Data LAN.
Interface 4: LAN 40, Data LAN.
Additional LANs, with VLAN tagging, are available: VLAN 11 (resp. 21,
31, 41) on interface 1 (resp. 2, 3, 4).
For a Electra VS made of several 1RU server, it is possible to add an
Internal data network if you need to start jobs that can be split over
several nodes. It is also necessary for a statmux that is split over several
nodes.
By default each logical interface is composed of 2 physical interfaces that
work in fail-over (bond):
logical Interface INTF_1 is composed of the first NIC of each board,
logical Interface INTF_2 is composed of the second NIC of each board,
etc.
You can modify the Electra VS setup to remove the bonding. For
example, NICi of first card can be independent from NICi of second card.
Each time you remove a bond, you add one more logical interface.
In G8, when there are 2 octo SDI boards, there is only one network board.
Bonding is configured to have physical interfaces linked per 2, so 2
logical interfaces. That means you have:
logical Interface INTF_1 is composed of the first two NICs of the board
logical Interface INTF_2 is composed of the last two NICs of the board.
You can remove the second bounding, in this case you have:
logical Interface INTF_1 is composed of the first two NICs of the board
logical Interface INTF_2 is linked to the third NIC of the board
logical Interface INTF_3 is linked to the last NIC of the board.
