5.1 Default State of the Exalogic Machine Network Configuration

At the time of manufacturing in the factory, an Exalogic machine has the following network topology:

• Compute nodes configured with NET0, ILOM, and BOND0 interfaces

  Note:

  Exalogic compute nodes are not pre-configured with the BOND1 interface for the Ethernet over InfiniBand (EoIB) connectivity. You can configure BOND1 for compute notes during the initial configuration of the Exalogic machine.

• Storage heads configured with NET0, ILOM, and BOND0 interfaces

• Sun Network QDR InfiniBand Gateway Switches, referred to as leaf switches, configured with the ILOM interface

• Sun Datacenter InfiniBand Switch 36, referred to as the spine switch, not configured

  Note:

  This switch is used in multirack configuration scenarios only.

• Cisco Ethernet Management Switch, which is not configured
