1.2.5.3 Selecting a System Control Network Configuration
Consider the following when determining the system control network configuration:
■ An IP address appropriate to the existing environment can be assigned to each
LAN port, and the Class B private address, which is the default address, can be
changed.
■ Either dual power feed or single power feed must be selected for the power feed
option of your server.
■ Do you have a separate LAN port or network for access by a field engineer? If
not, does the field engineer have access through the serial port when maintenance
is necessary?
Generally, there are three server control network configurations as follows,
according to installation conditions:
■ XSCF Configuration A (Basic Configuration)
■ XSCF Configuration B (Restricted Configuration)
■ XSCF Configuration C (Maximum Configuration)
