Configuring network interfaces for SOFS

Dell requires associating an IP address with each of the six network interface ports in each server.

  • Two static or dynamic IP addresses for management
  • Two static IP addresses for external communication to SMB clients
  • Two static IP addresses for internal communication between server cluster nodes

Also, a gateway IP address, a subnet mask, and a DNS server address are required.

  • NOTE: iDRAC, which is a dedicated network interface port for remote access, is distinct from the six ports you configure. iDRAC is configured separately outside the Windows OS.
