Nfc27-40-config

Adam and I connected the rest of the Gigabit Ethernet ports { eth2, nf2c0, .. nfc3 } on twelve of the NetFPGA Cluster machines nfc{27..40}. We now have eight of the NetFPGA cluster machines (nfc29..36) fully connected to a full 48-port GigE switch (nfcSW4) and four machines (nfc35..40) fully connected to ports of the HP ProCurve (gates-sw-0-3, bank D) switch.

   Details of of the physical topology are below:

nfc29 .. 36 : connected to nfcsw4

  nfc29 - sw4port : cable color
      nf2c0 - 1   : blue
      nf2c1 - 2   : green
      nf2c2 - 3   : yellow
      nf2c3 - 4   : red
      eth2  - 5   : gray

  nfc30 - sw4port : cable color
      nf2c0 - 6   : blue
      nf2c1 - 7   : green
      nf2c2 - 8   : yellow
      nf2c3 - 9   : red
      eth2  - 10  : gray

  nfc31 - sw4port : cable color
      nf2c0 - 11  : blue
      nf2c1 - 12  : green
      nf2c2 - 13  : yellow
      nf2c3 - 14  : red
      eth2  - 15  : gray

  nfc32 - sw4port : cable color
      nf2c0 - 16   : blue
      nf2c1 - 17   : green
      nf2c2 - 18   : yellow
      nf2c3 - 19   : red
      eth2  - 20   : gray

     (skip ports 21..24)

  nfc33 - sw4port : cable color
      nf2c0 - 25  : blue
      nf2c1 - 26  : green
      nf2c2 - 27  : yellow
      nf2c3 - 28  : red
      eth2  - 29  : gray

  nfc34 - sw4port : cable color
      nf2c0 - 30  : blue
      nf2c1 - 31  : green
      nf2c2 - 32  : yellow
      nf2c3 - 33  : red
      eth2  - 34  : gray

  nfc35 - sw4port : cable color
      nf2c0 - 35  : blue
      nf2c1 - 36  : green
      nf2c2 - 37  : yellow
      nf2c3 - 38  : red
      eth2  - 39  : gray

  nfc36 - sw4port : cable color
      nf2c0 - 40  : blue
      nf2c1 - 41  : green
      nf2c2 - 42  : yellow
      nf2c3 - 43  : red
      eth2  - 44  : gray

on HP gates-sw-0-3 : Block D nfc37

    nf2c0 - D1 : blue
       ...
    nf2c3 - D4  : red
    eth2 - D5
  (skip 1 port)

    nf2c0 - D7
      ...

    eth2 - D23

All of the management ports (eth1) remain connected to internal Stanford network and are on-line as (nfcM1..40)

eth1 control ports of nfc29 .. 36

  connected directly to HP Procurve
   gates-sw-0-3 ports e1..e12

The next step is to configure VLANs on nfcSW4 to re-test the loopback tests for nfc29..36

After that, we can migrate users of the nf-test machines to the nfc machines and use the VLANs to create a virtual topology on nfcSW4 suitable for each user.

We also talked to Charlie about access to the gates-sw switch. He will provide us mangement access to configure VLANs on the HP ProCurve test for nfc37..40
