Connecting Ethernet Cables
When deploying a ztC Edge system, you need to connect Ethernet cables. The following illustration shows the Ethernet cable connections for the network configuration of a system licensed for two nodes. (The keyboard and console can connect to either node0 or node1. The illustration shows the connection to node0.) On a system licensed for one node, follow the instructions (below) to connect Ethernet cables to P1 for network0 (ibiz0) and, optionally, to P2 for network1 (ibiz1).
Note: Ethernet ports P1 and P2 and ports A1 and A2 are on the front or back of the node, depending on the node model. In addition, a node may have more ports than just P1 and P2, depending on the node model.
When you deploy the system (see Deploying the System), you connect:
- The blue cable for priv0 from embedded port A2 on node0 to the same embedded port on node1.
- The yellow cable for A-Link1 from embedded port A1 on node0 to the same embedded port on node1.
For network0 (ibiz0), you connect an Ethernet cable from P1 on each node to a network that is accessible from the remote management computer. For the optional network1 (ibiz1), you can connect an Ethernet cable from P2 on each node to the additional network.
Make any changes in your network (if necessary) in preparation for these connections. Then, perform the next step in Deploying the System.
