PRIMECLUSTER Global Link Services Configuration and Administration Guide: Redundant Line Control Function 4.1 (for Solaris(TM) Operating System)

2.1.2.5 Notes

• IPv4 address must be assigned to the physical interface.
• Only one machine should run on one network in RIP mode. If RIP is sent from more than one server, the propagation of path information becomes complicated and more time is required for switching than expected.
• No subnet can be created for a network to be used. Be sure to directly use a network of class A, B, or C without specifying a subnet mask. However, a subnet mask can be specified if the following conditions are met:

1. A subnet is created only for one network address.
2. A unique value in the entire network must be specified for the subnet mask for the network address for which a subnet is created.
3. A subnet mask value of the network address is defined in the /etc/netmasks file.

• It is not possible to use an IPv6 address.
• If you are using Solaris10 for OS, use the "routeadm(1M)" command to set up a routing daemon. See "3.2.2.3 System setup in RIP mode".
