The Extreme Protocol SBC Solution is set up as a series of network clusters. Each cluster can support up to 16k SBCs in the range of 10.c.0.1 -> 10.c.63.255. The address of 10.c.255.1 is reserved for the Linux Cluster Server (Dhcp, nfs, etc) and 10.c.255.2 is reserved for the Windows based License Server and Manufacturing Control. Other clusters will follow the same scheme, changing "c" as appropriate for the local cluster subnet. In a dual-ported computer, the other port can be configured to be part of the company's regular subnet. If a Macro-monitoring station is desired to view ALL of the clusters simultaneously, plug the system into the local subnet and set the IP address to 10.255.255.2 with a netmask of 10.255.255.255 so that it can see all of the clusters.
Note that any arrowheads merely indicate which system is initiating a given request. The black arrows inicate the 10.x.x.x subnet.

Single Board Computer Help
The Linux Cluster Server has been tested to run with Linux versions 2.4.18 and 2.6.2 and include the appropriate packages for those versions of the OS on the installation CD. Other versions of Linux should work as well, but you'll need to find the appropriate packages for that version of Linux. The services that need to be installed are dhcpd, nfs file server, and nbd server.
Further information on running and using the Cluster Server Config tool can be found in the Help menu of the tool and are also linked below for reference.
