*3 The IP address is intended only for communication with the active MMB.
*4 It is connected to the communication of the Internal LAN, and is not connected to any external network.
The assigned IP address must be in a different subnet from the management LAN, maintenance LAN, or
production LAN. The default setting is 172.30.0.1/24, and it does not have to be changed unless it is in
conflict with another subnet.
*5 This IP address is to access the console redirection function provided by BMC. It accesses BMC from the
user port on the management LAN of MMB via the dedicated network for BMC-to-MMB communication
inside the cabinet.
MMB changes the local IP address of BMC to the IP address on the management LAN by NAT. From the
PC on the management LAN, the console redirection function of BMC is used via MMB.
*6 If Disable is set for this address, neither REMCS notification nor e-mail notification in case of panic.
Remarks
- A separate subnet must be assigned to "Management LAN", "Maintenance LAN" (external network), and
"Internal LAN" (inside the cabinet LAN).
- Since "3. Internal LAN" is closed to the outside of the cabinet, the same subnet as that for "Internal LAN"
in another cabinet can be used.
- For the IP address to be assigned to "Console redirection", the same subnet as that assigned to "1.
Management LAN" must be used.
- MMB uses the following subnets permanently for internal communication.
The following subnets cannot be specified:
127.1.1.0/24
127.1.2.0/24
127.1.3.0/24
The PCH on an SB in each partition has a 100 Mb Ethernet port connected with the PCH-to-MMB
communication LAN inside the cabinet. The operating system assigns the IP address of the 100 Mb Ethernet
port.
