Installation and Configuration 5-9 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. 2. If you are using a recommended dual-port Ethernet adapter for the cluster interconnect, connect the client LAN to the empty port. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for all other cluster nodes. Redundant Client LAN If you elect to install a redundant Ethernet client LAN, you must provide two single-port Ethernet adapters or one dual-port Ethernet adapter in each cluster node for the client LAN. 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 allowed. 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
