For information about connecting a laptop to your Exalogic machine, see Connect
a Laptop to the Exalogic Machine.
• Validate the desired network configuration
Review Default State of the Exalogic Machine Network Configuration and
Understand Network Requirements and Configuration to identify the desired
network topology of your Exalogic machine. In addition, review the network
topology with your network administrator.
• Ensure that all required network parameters are available
After determining the desired network configuration, you should determine a full
set of network parameters, such as gateway addresses, netmask, IP addresses for
NET0, BOND0, BOND1 (if needed), ILOMs, and so on. You are required to enter
them in the configurator spreadsheet, which is used as input by Exalogic
Configuration Utility.
• Ensure that all the required cabling is completed
You must have connected your Exalogic machine to the data center's Ethernet
device, such as a switch. For more information, see Connectivity Between Exalogic
Machine and External LAN Through Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway
Switch.
• Set up VNICs, as necessary, for Ethernet over InfiniBand (EoIB) connectivity. For
more information, see Configure Ethernet Over InfiniBand.
