• Always keep your network environment in mind when assigning IPs; not every
recommendation is going to be applicable or possible for every network environment.
Below is an example IP scheme for a four node system. This is not the required IP scheme, but an example
of proper assignment using best practices. You should use an IP scheme that is compatible with your network
environment.
• LAN IP - 192.168.155.20
• LAN IP - 192.168.155.21
• LAN IP - 192.168.155.22
• LAN IP - 192.168.155.23
• LAN Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
• LAN Gateway 192.168.155.1
• Backplane IP - 10.10.10.20
• Backplane IP - 10.10.10.21
• Backplane IP - 10.10.10.22
• Backplane IP - 10.10.10.23
• Backplane Subnet Mask (Immutable) - 255.255.255.0
Networking Preparations
WARNING
It is against Scale Computing best practices to use a publicly routable IP address scheme for
the LAN IP addresses on your nodes. Choose a non-publicly routable IP addressing scheme
for the LAN ports. If it is necessary to have public access to VMs on the system, utilize
individual VM VLAN capabilities to control access to the VMs only, not to the system nodes.
