Make sure that the LLT private links are on different physical networks.
Ifthe LLTprivate linksare not ondifferent physicalnetworks, thenmake sure
that the linksare on separate subnets.Set the broadcast address in/etc/llttab
explicitly depending on the subnet for each link.
See Broadcast address in the /etc/llttab fileon page 158.
Makesure thateachNIC hasan IPaddress thatis configuredbeforeconfiguring
LLT.
Make sure the IP addresses in the /etc/llttab files are consistent with the IP
addresses of the network interfaces.
Make sure that each link has a unique not well-known UDP port.
See Selecting UDP portson page 160.
Set the broadcast address correctly for direct-attached (non-routed) links.
See Sample configuration: direct-attached linkson page 161.
For the links that cross an IP router, disable broadcast features and specify
the IP address of each link manually in the /etc/llttab file.
See Sample configuration: links crossing IP routerson page 163.
Broadcast address in the /etc/llttab file
The broadcast address is set explicitly for each link in the following example.
Display the content of the /etc/llttab file:
# cat /etc/llttab
set-node Node0
set-cluster 1
link link1 udp - udp 50000 - 10.20.30.1 10.20.30.255
link link2 udp - udp 50001 - 10.20.31.1 10.20.31.255
Verify the subnet mask using the ifconfig command to ensure that the two
links are on separate subnets.
# ifconfig
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:AC:2B:E4
inet addr:10.20.30.1 Bcast:10.20.30.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:23:AC:2B:E5
inet addr:10.20.31.1 Bcast:10.20.31.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
