Ethernet redundancy
SETTING UP AN ETHERNET CONNECTION
Table 4-3 presents some typical netmask values and corresponding IP addresses in common
use.
Table 4-4 presents some valid IP addresses and netmask values for an Ethernet redundant
version of the CPUM card and the two host computers:
4.3.1 Changing the IP addresses of the rack
As described in Table 4-3 and Table 4-4, consider a subnet nn.nn.nn.hh with the following
netmask and IP addresses:
• IP address for the primary network interface (ETH1): 10.10.56.56
• IP address for the secondary network interface (ETH2): 10.10.56.156
• Netmask: 0xFFFFFF80
4.3.1.1 CPUM cards running firmware version 075 or later
For a CPUM card running firmware version 075 or later, the network interface (IP addressing)
information is defined in the net.cfg file (see 2 CPUM card directory structure and
configuration files).
