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.
