4.315 ent-ip-node

Use this command to define the IP address of a node.

Parameters

cap (mandatory)
The maximum percentage of Ethernet capacity for the node connection. This capacity is added to other connections to this node for the total capacity of the node.

Note:

The value specified for this parameter can be used to calculate throughput for E5-ENET-B cards. Refer to the Notes section for more information.
Range:
1 - 100
ipaddr (mandatory)
The node’s IP address. This is a TCP/IP address expressed in standard dot notation. IP addresses consist of the system’s network number and the machine’s unique host number. An example IP address is 192.126.100.5, where 192.126.100 is the network number and 5 is the machine’s host number.
Range:

4 numbers separated by dots

1-233-first number

0-255-the other three numbers

ipappl (mandatory)
The IP application supported by the node.
Range:
ipport (mandatory)
The logical IP port that addresses the application on the node.
Range:
1024 - 5000
loc (mandatory)
The card location as stenciled on the shelf of the system that contains the TCP/IP link that will be directly connected to the node.
Range:
1101 - 1108, 1111 - 1112, 1201 - 1208, 1211 - 1218, 1301 - 1308, 1311 - 1318, 2101 - 2108, 2111 - 2118, 2201 - 2208, 2211 - 2218, 2301 - 2308, 2311 - 2318, 3101 - 3108, 3111 - 3118, 3201 - 3208, 3211 - 3218, 3301 - 3308, 3311 - 3318, 4101 - 4108, 4111 - 4118, 4201 - 4208, 4211 - 4218, 4301 - 4308, 4311 - 4318, 5101 - 5108, 5111 - 5118, 5201 - 5208, 5211 - 5218, 5301 - 5308, 5311 - 5318, 6101 - 6108, 6111 - 6118
iprte (optional)
The default router IP address. This is a TCP/IP address expressed in standard dot notation. IP addresses consist of the system’s network number and the machine’s unique host number. An example IP address is 192.126.100.5, where 192.126.100 is the network number and 5 is the machine’s host number.
Range:
4 numbers separated by dots

1-233-first number

0-255-the other three numbers

Example

Dependencies

The shelf and card must be equipped.

The node IP address cannot be 127.x.x.x, where x is a number from 1 to 254.

The specified card location must be equipped with a TCP/IP data link.

The IP address must be unique to the TCP/IP link table and to the TCP/IP nodes.

Only one node can be connected for each data link and each application. The IP address, IP application, and card location combination must be unique in the database.

The IP port on each node cannot already be assigned to another application.

The class of the IP address (ipaddr) must match the class of the assigned TCP/IP data link’s IP address. The system supports three classes of IP addresses, Class A, Class B, and Class C. Class A IP addresses can contain only the values 1 - 126 in the first field of the IP address. Class B IP addresses can contain only the values 128 - 191 in the first field of the IP address. Class C IP addresses can contain only the values 192 - 223 in the first field of the IP address.

The network portion of the IP address (ipaddr) must match the network portion of the IP address assigned to the TCP/IP data link. The network portion of the IP address is based on the class of the IP address. If the IP address is a Class A IP address, the first field is the network portion of the IP address. If the IP address is a Class B IP address, the first two fields are the network portion of the IP address. If the IP address is a Class C IP address, the first three fields are the network portion of the IP address.

If the network portion and class of the IP address of the TCP/IP node matches the class of the assigned TCP/IP data link’s IP address, the iprte parameter cannot be specified. The iprte parameter can be specified only with the ent-ip-node command when the network portion and class of the TCP/IP node does not match the class of the assigned TCP/IP data link’s IP address. The values of the ipaddr parameter, the IP address of the TCP/IP node, and the iprte parameter cannot be the same.

The capacity of all connections to the given node cannot be greater than 100%.

The router's IP address must not be assigned to a local TCP/IP data link.

The router's IP address must be in the same network as the node's IP address.

Notes

If the IP address is a Class A IP address, do not use the IP addresses 127.x.x.x, where x is a number from 1 - 254. These addresses are reserved for loopback.  

Using the CAP Value to Calculate Throughput for E5-ENET-B Cards

The value specified for the cap parameter can be used to calculate the throughput in transactions per second (TPS) for E5-ENET-B cards. The TPS value is the smaller of the following values:

  •  GPL_CARD_CAPACITY 
    • E5-ENET-B card—15000
  • 175 [or 17.5] * cap parameter value

Caution:

The 175 multiplier is used only when the link negotiates to 100 Mbits/second full duplex. If the link is a different value than 100 Mbits/second full duplex, then a multiplier of 17.5 is used.
