Chassis Internal Network |
The Chassis Internal Network (CIN) provides
internal connectivity between compute node ports and the internal
management module management port. This capability allows a user to
access the CMM from
a compute node, for example, by opening a web, CLI, or SNMP session.
The communication path is two-way, so that the CMM can
also use services on the compute node, such as, LDAP, SMTP, DNS, and
NTP. The Chassis Internal Network page enables the user to monitor
the status of CIN sessions and change CIN parameters. The following
tabs are available:
- General - Contains the options to enable or disable the CIN function
globally. One of the following check boxes is available, depending
on the CIN current state:
- Enable Chassis Internal Network - Activates the CIN
- Management module reads the CIN entries
- When an entry is enabled and the CIN VLAN ID is new and does not
have a CIN interface, a new CIN interface based on that CIN VLAN ID
is created. Use the CIN IP address from the entry to create a host
route.
- When an entry is enabled and the CIN IP address is 0.0.0.0, start
ARP monitoring.
- Disable Chassis Internal Network - Deactivates the CIN
- Stops all ARP monitoring
- Deletes all host routes
- Deletes all CIN interfaces
- Status - Contains a summary list of all CIN sessions in a table.
The following properties are available for the list of CIN sessions:
- CIN VLAN ID - Virtual LAN (VLAN) ID supporting CIN
- CIN IP Address - IP address communicating on the CIN. An asterisk
(*) after the address indicates that the address was dynamically created
and not configured by the user.
- CIN MAC - MAC address associated with the IP address.
- Status - CIN connection status:
- Operational - CMM can
ping the CIN IP address.
- Not Operational - The CMM cannot
ping the CIN IP address. Verify that the compute node and the I/O
module are configured properly and the configurations are compatible
with those of the CMM.
- Disabled - CIN configuration was disabled by a CMM administrator.
- Configuration - Contains a table of CIN entries that allows you
to define, enable, disable, or delete CIN entries. A maximum of 14
CIN configuration entries are supported. The table columns are as
follows:
- Bay - Index between 1 and 14 (inclusive) to identify the CIN configuration.
- CIN VLAN ID - Virtual LAN (VLAN) ID that supports CIN. Values
can range from 3 to 4094 (inclusive). These VLAN IDs cannot be the
same as the one used for Serial over LAN (SOL).
- Configuration
- CIN IP Address - IP address that is allowed to communicate on
the CIN. The value of 0.0.0.0 indicates that any IP address can communicate
on the CIN. In this case, the CMM listens
on the CIN VLAN ID and learns the IP addresses dynamically. If you
want to restrict the addresses, you must define each IP address specifically.
CIN entries cannot have matching IP addresses, with the exception
of 0.0.0.0. Multiple CIN entries with an IP address of 0.0.0.0 are
allowed, provided that the VLAN IDs are different. The IP address
of a CIN entry cannot be multicast or match the CMM IP
address. If the CIN IP address is 0.0.0.0, the compute node IP address
for the CIN that is configured in the compute node operating system
cannot be in the same subnet as the CMM.
- Enable - Column that allows the user to enable, disable, or delete
a CIN configuration:
- Enabled - The CMM reads
the entry and creates a new CIN interface if the CIN VLAN ID is new
and does not have a CIN interface, and then adds a host route and
monitors communication path. ARP monitoring is started if the IP is
set to 0.0.0.0.
- Disabled - The host route is deleted. If this is the last IP address
that uses the CIN interface, ARP monitoring is stopped if the IP is
0.0.0.0 and the CIN interface is deleted if there is no other entry
that depends on it.

VLAN Configuration |
- Global VLAN Settings - Contains the option to globally enable
VLAN support for the CMM eth0 network interface. Configuring and applying
configuration changes might make the CMM inaccessible, for example,
if there is a mismatch with the network environment. To prevent the
CMM from becoming inaccessible, a temporary or uncommitted configuration
is provided as a backup. Configuration changes made to VLAN parameters
will be temporary until the user accepts the changes. All uncommitted
changes can be committed by clicking Commit. If temporary changes
are not committed within the selected revert timeout, the last committed
configuration will be restored. This allows the user to access the
CMM if the temporary changes resulted in inaccessibility. The revert
timeout can be configured for 1-255 minutes. The revert timer is started
when a configuration update is saved. The last committed changes are
restored when the revert timer expires, if the user did not commit
the temporary configuration.
- CMM VLAN Configuration - Contains the option to configure, add,
remove, or restart a VLAN. A maximum of two VLAN entries can be configured
on the CMM. The first VLAN entry is referred as the default entry.
The default entry is always enabled and initially has the SOL feature
assigned to it. It is always configured with the IPv4 and IPv6 configuration
of the CMM external eth0 network interface.
- Actions
- Add New VLAN - This option is used to define the second VLAN entry,
using a unique name and VLAN ID. In addition, the VLAN state can be
enabled and disabled and VLAN tagging can also be managed. The VLAN
may be configured with unique IPv4 and IPv6 network parameters and
static routes can be associated with each protocol.
- Actions - Select the second VLAN entry and the Actions menu is
made available with options to delete or restart the VLAN.
- Delete VLAN - This option is used to delete the second VLAN entry.
- Features Assignment - Assigns the available features to a VLAN,
or removes the feature assignment.
