PrivNIC agent: type attribute descriptions

The following table describes the user-modifiable attributes of the PrivNIC resource type

Description

Device  

string - association 

Specifies the network interface device as shown by the "ifconfig" command and the "network-id" associated with the interface. Network-ids of the interfaces connected to the same physical network must match. The interface with the lower network-id has the higher preference for failover. Interfaces specified in the PrivNIC configuration should be exactly the same in name and total number as those which have been used for LLT configuration. 

Example: 

Device@galaxy = {qfe0=0, qfe1=1, qfe2=2}

Device@nebula = {qfe0=0, qfe1=1, qfe2=2}

Address  

string-scalar  

The numerical private IP address. For example: 

Address = "192.168.12.1"

NetMask  

string - association 

The numerical netmask for the private IP address. For example: 

Address = "255.255.255.0"

Description

DeviceTag  

string - association 

Associates an LLT device "tag" with device via the network-id. If an LLT device tag (as specified in the /etc/llttab file) differs from the name of the network interface as shown in "ifconfig," then DeviceTag must be specified for that interface. 

GabPort 

string-scalar  

A single lower-case letter specifying the name of the GAB port to be used for filtering. "o" is the default. NULL disables GAB port filtering.  

Example: GabPort = "b" 

UseVirtualIP 

integer-scalar 

The default is 0, which specifies that the agent use the physical interface for configuring the private IP address when possible. 

The value 1 specifies that the agent always use the virtual interface for configuring the private IP address. 

The value 2 (which includes the functionality of the value 1) specifies the agent should complain if the private IP address already exists on a physical interface. 

UseSystemList 

integer-scalar 

The value 1 specifies that the agent use the SystemList of the service group to filter the node list. Default = 0. 

ExcludeNode 

integer-vector 

List of nodes to permanently excluded from calculation.
