5-20 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O2000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide Cabling the Client LAN You can use any TCP/IP network to connect to a client LAN. The following procedure contains instructions for cabling an Ethernet client LAN. To cable an Ethernet client LAN: 1. Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into an Ethernet adapter port designated for the client LAN in a cluster node. If you are using a recommended dual-port Ethernet adapter for the cluster interconnect, connect the client LAN to the empty port. If you are using a recommended single-port adapter for the cluster interconnect, connect the client LAN to the port on the embedded adapter or to another single-port Ethernet adapter. 2. Connect the node to the client LAN by inserting the other end of the client LAN Ethernet cable to a port in the Ethernet hub or switch. 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other cluster nodes. Redundant Client LAN If you elect to install an Ethernet client LAN, a redundant client LAN requires two single-port Ethernet adapters or one dual-port Ethernet adapter in each cluster node. It also requires two Ethernet hubs or switches, and one Ethernet crossover cable must be installed between the Ethernet hubs or switches. Installing redundant crossover cables directly between the nodes is not supported. For information on configuring Ethernet connections in a redundant client LAN, including enabling failover from one Ethernet path to another, see Supported Ethernet Interconnects for Compaq Parallel Database Clusters Using Oracle Parallel Server at www.compaq.com/support/techpubs/whitepapers

Cabling the Client LAN
You can use any TCP/IP network to connect to a client LAN. The following
procedure contains instructions for cabling an Ethernet client LAN.
To cable an Ethernet client LAN:
1.
Insert one end of an Ethernet cable into an Ethernet adapter port
designated for the client LAN in a cluster node.
If you are using a recommended dual-port Ethernet adapter for the
cluster interconnect, connect the client LAN to the empty port.
If you are using a recommended single-port adapter for the cluster
interconnect, connect the client LAN to the port on the embedded
adapter or to another single-port Ethernet adapter.
2.
Connect the node to the client LAN by inserting the other end of the
client LAN Ethernet cable to a port in the Ethernet hub or switch.
3.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other cluster nodes.
Redundant Client LAN
If you elect to install an Ethernet client LAN, a redundant client LAN requires
two single-port Ethernet adapters or one dual-port Ethernet adapter in each
cluster node. It also requires two Ethernet hubs or switches, and one Ethernet
crossover cable must be installed between the Ethernet hubs or switches.
Installing redundant crossover cables directly between the nodes is not
supported.
For information on configuring Ethernet connections in a redundant client
LAN, including enabling failover from one Ethernet path to another, see
