Understanding Default IP Addresses
These topics list the default IP addresses assigned to Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 components
during manufacturing.

Default IP Addresses
Four sets of default IP addresses are assigned at manufacturing:
■
Management IP addresses – IP addresses used by Oracle ILOM for the SPARC T5-8
servers, Exadata Storage Servers, and the ZFS storage controllers.
■
Host IP addresses – Host IP addresses used by the SPARC T5-8 servers, Exadata Storage
Servers, ZFS storage controllers, and switches.
■
InfiniBand IP addresses – InfiniBand interfaces are the default channel of communication
among SPARC T5-8 servers, Exadata Storage Servers, and the ZFS storage controllers. If
you are connecting Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 to another Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 or to an
Oracle Exadata or Exalogic machine on the same InfiniBand fabric, the InfiniBand interface
enables communication between the SPARC T5-8 servers and storage server heads in one
Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 and the other Oracle SuperCluster T5-8 or Oracle Exadata or
Exalogic machine.
■
10-GbE IP addresses – The IP addresses used by the 10-GbE client access network
interfaces.
Tip - For more information about how these interfaces are used, see Figure 18, “Network
Diagram for Oracle SuperCluster T5-8,” on page 89.
Default Host Names and IP Addresses
