Step 9. Set network adapter speed on the private network to 10
Mbytes/s, rather than the default automated speed selection.
10 Mbytes/s is the recommended setting.
a. Select the network speed from the drop-down list.
Important: Do not use “Auto detect” as the setting for speed. Some
adapters can drop packets while determining the speed.
b. Set the network adapter speed by clicking the appropriate option,
such as Media Type or Speed.
Step 10. Configure identically all network adapters in the cluster that are
attached to the same network, so they use the same
Duplex Mode, Flow Control, Media Type, and so on.
These settings should stay the same even if the hardware
is different.
Step 11. Click Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Step 12. Click Properties.
Step 13. Click the radio-button for Use the Following IP Address.
Step 14. Enter the IP addresses you want to use for the private network.
Step 15. Type in the subnet mask for the network.
Step 16. Click the Advanced radio button, then select the WINS tab.
Step 17. Select Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
Step 18. Click OK to return to the previous menu. Perform this step for
the private network adapter only.
4.7.5 Configuring the Public Network Adapter
Important: It is strongly recommended that you use static IP
addresses for all network adapters in the cluster. This
includes both the network adapter used to access the
cluster nodes and the network adapter used to access the
LAN (Local Area Network). If you use a dynamic IP address
through DHCP, access to the cluster could be terminated
and become unavailable if the DHCP server goes down or
goes offline.
