Router Node 65
2.6 Planning for the Dependent Node
Next, for each dependent node on the RS/6000 SP, define the following:
ParametersDescriptions
Node #A user-supplied dependent node number representing the node
position of an unused SP Switch port to be used
by the SP Switch Router Adapter.
Slot #The slot number on which the SP Switch Router Adapter is located in
the GRF.
GRF hostnameThe hostname for the GRF administrative Ethernet. A long
hostname is recommended if the domain name
service (DNS) is used in the network. This
represents both the Administrative and SNMP
agent hostname of the dependent node.
SNMP community nameThis attribute describes the SNMP community
name that the SP Extension Node SNMP Manager
and the GRF’s SNMP Agent will send in the
corresponding field of the SNMP messages. This
value must match the value specified in the
/etc/snmpd.conf file on the GRF. If left blank, a
default name found in the SP Switch Router
Adapter documentation is used.
SP Extension Node SNMP
Manager port #The SNMP port number used by the SP Extension Node
SNMP Manager to communicate with the SNMP
agent on the GRF.
This port number is 162 when the SP Extension
Node SNMP Manager is the only SNMP manager
on the Control Workstation. Otherwise, another
port number not used in the /etc/services of the
Control Workstation is chosen.
Then, for the dependent node adapter, define these parameters:
ParameterDescriptions
IP addressThe IP address of this adapter.
NetmaskThe netmask of this adapter. Use the same format as that for
standard RS/6000 SP nodes.
