Field Value Notes
CIDR equivalent of
the subnet mask
This is the CIDR (/XX) equivalent of the subnet mask
that was specified previously. Look up the subnet mask
(specified previously) then refer to the Table 8 on page
19 and find the CIDR equivalent and record it on this
line. It must be between /0 and /32 (for example, /24).
Default gateway IP
address
This is the numeric gateway IP address. It is used for
all network access to the file systems. For example,
99.99.99.1
Public IP addresses The public IP addresses are the data path connections
to your network. They are used for all of the Ethernet
data path connections the file modules. At least 2
addresses are recommended (1 per node). The data
path connections use Ethernet bonding, so a single IP
address (along with a subnet mask and gateway) is
used for all available Ethernet ports on a single file
module. The system automatically load balances
between the physical ports on a single file module.
(For example, 99.99.99.100,
99.99.99.101,99.99.99.102,99.99.103)
Additional public
gateway IP
addresses
Additional gateways IP addresses for access to the file
systems across each of the public networks.
