Host machine Configuration
After configuring the two dimmPCI modules, they can now communicate with each other, as well as the
outside network. But the outside network cannot access the dimmPCI subnet. Therefore a route to the
subnet must be added to redirect packets to the proper device. The most convenient method is to add the
route to the gateway for the local network, in this example it is 192.168.10.1. On the machine that acts as the
gateway, the following command would be used at the command line
route add –net 192.168.7.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.10.87
net specifies the subnet that you wish to add the route to and gw is the gateway into the dimmPCI subnet, the
eth0 IP address on the system slot NETdimm.
Testing
To test if the configuration was successful and the network was established, execute the following com-
mands.
On the host machine:
ping 192.168.10.87 (this tests the system slot NETdimm configuration)
ping 192.168.7.2 (this tests the peripheral slot dimmPCI module configuration)
telnet 192.168.7.2 (this gives you access to the peripheral slot dimmPCI module)
In the telnet session for the peripheral slot dimmPCI module:
ping <host machine ip address> (this indicates that the peripheral slot
dimmPCI module has access to the outside
network)
