Adding a NIC Tag to a CN
This section reivews the steps necessary to assign the external NIC Tag to a compute node (which will, at the very least, correspond to the External network created at install time), and is primarily geared towards bringing a Triton deployment to a point where it can be tested. A full discussion of NIC Tag and their usage is outside of the scope of this document, and users are urged to review NIC Tags for an in-depth review of the creation, management, and assignation of NIC Tag within Triton.
