Minimum Number of IP and Alt MAC Addresses

This table lists the minimum number of IP addresses you need for each I/O Domain. You can configure more than the minimum. You or your network administrator provide the IP addresses, and the assistant enables you to add and remove networks as needed. See Managing Resources and Networks.

The utility automatically assigns two alternate MAC addresses per core in each domain. If you plan to create zones in the domain, multiply the number of cores by two to determine the number of MAC addresses available for zones. If you increase the number of cores in a domain, you can increase the number of alternate MAC addresses. For details, refer to the My Oracle Support knowledge article ID 2198060.1 at http://support.oracle.com.
