Hi all,
I want to add a second nework interface (actually a vif, but it shouldn't make any difference) and attach it to a private network on a beowulf cluster; but I want to also keep the current interface to our public network up. How do I make sure the filer isn't doing any routing? Currently, the vif setup for our public network looks like this (IP addresses removed to protect the innocent):
hostname foo
vif create multi vif0 e9a e9b ifconfig vif0 `hostname`-vif0 netmask 255.255.248.0 route add default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx routed on
So do I just add a foo-cluster (and foo-cluster-vif1) entry to the hosts file with the appropriate private IP address (e.g. 10.1.200.1) and then do:
vif create multi vif1 e11a e11b ifconfig vif1 foo-cluster-vif1 netmask 255.0.0.0
Do I need another "route add" for 10.1.1.1 (the gateway to the private network?).
I don't understand this stuff.
