Public Networks

Add this planning information to the "Public Networks Worksheet" in the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Release Notes.

Public networks communicate outside the cluster. Consider the following points when you plan your public network configuration.

• Public networks and the private network (cluster interconnect) must use separate adapters.

• You must have at least one public network that is connected to all cluster nodes.

• You can have as many additional public network connections as your hardware configuration allows.

• The local-mac-address variable must use the default value false. Sun Cluster software does not support a local-mac-address value of true.

See also "NAFO Groups" for guidelines on planning public network adapter backup groups. For more information about public network interfaces, see Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Concepts.
