Triton initial network configuration

Modified: 28 Apr 2022 01:26 UTC

This document builds on the requirements specified in the document entitled Networking layout, and assists you in collecting the information necessary to configure your Triton installation's networking.

MAC addresses

During the configuration process, you will associate each interface on the head node with NIC Tags. To identify each interface, you will need to retrieve it's MAC address along with which network(s) the interface is physically connected to. Note: if you will be enabling link aggregation on the head node, you should choose one of interfaces that form the bundle for this step; the aggregation is added outside the installer for the head node and will be covered in the installation documentation.

For the compute node setup steps (covered later in this documentation) you will require the MAC addresses for the compute nodes in order to associate the NIC Tag with the proper interfaces. Link aggregation - if required - will be configured for the compute nodes in that step, as will the Underlay network.
