The main requirement for the network configuration is that the system controller must be accessible from the control plane server via telnet. Use the setupsc command to configure the system controller.
The following example shows a typical execution of the setupsc command. You can configure the system controller differently as long as it meets the requirement described in the previous paragraph. For example, you can choose to set up the IP addresses via a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
For example:
# telnet 10.5.128.156 2038 Trying 10.5.128.156... Connected to 10.5.128.156 (10.5.128.156). Escape character is '^]'. username: admin password: sc>setupsc Entering Interactive setup mode. Use Ctrl-z to exit & save. Use Ctrl-c to abort.
