e. Assign a unique static IP address, subnet mask, and gateway.
4. Ensure that the network ID portion of the new network adapters IP address is different from the other adapter.
For example, if the first network adapter in the node had an address of 192.168.1.101 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, you might enter the following IP address and subnet mask for the second network adapter:
IP address: 192.168.2.102
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
5. Click OK and exit network adapter properties.

NOTE:
Ensure that you assign the new network adapter with the same IP address as the second network adapter
on the first node (for example, 192.168.2.101) as you did with the second node.
If the installation and IP address assignments have been performed correctly, all of the new network adapter resources
appear online and respond successfully to ping commands.

NOTE:
If you are migrating your cluster nodes to a different subnet, take all cluster resources offline and then migrate
all nodes together to the new subnet.
1. Open Cluster Administrator.
2. Stop Cluster Service on the cluster node.
The Cluster Administrator utility running on the second cluster node indicates that the first node is down by displaying a
red icon in the Cluster Service window.
3. Reassign the IP address.
4. If you are running DNS, verify that the DNS entries are correct (if required).
5. Restart MSCS on the cluster node.
The cluster nodes re-establish their connection and Cluster Administrator changes the node icon back to blue to show
that the node is back online.
