Networking Subsystem

Use the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) Networking page to view networking information, including the status of Ethernet Controllers and Infiniband Controllers.

The server networking subsystem consists of the following:

Ethernet Controllers for network ports:

SMOD0 System A NET0-3 10 GbE Network ports labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3

SMOD1 System B NET0-3 10 GbE Network ports labeled NET0, NET1, NET2, and NET3
Infiniband Controllers in PCIe slots:

Installation Rules:

Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter M3 Infiniband card PCIe slot number order: A: 8, 6, 4, 2, 7, 5, 3, 1 B: 16, 14, 12,10, 15, 13, 11

Oracle Dual Port QDR InfiniBand Host Channel Adapter M9 Infiniband card PCIe slot number order: 16, 8, 14, 6, 12, 4, 10, 2, 15, 7, 13, 5, 11,3, 9, 1
Two 10/100/1000 GbE Network Ethernet ports, one NET MGT port each in SMOD0 and SMOD1

Ethernet ports enable you to connect the system to the network. The Ethernet ports use RJ-45 cables for 10/100/1000BASE-T connections.

Ethernet Port Status Indicators are two status indicators (LEDs) that are visible from the back of the server.

Status Indicator Name	Location and Color	State and Meaning
Activity	Top left Green	ON – Link up. Lights when the Network (NET) 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) NET0 port is active. Indicates a live network. Off– No activity. No link. Not operational. FLASHING – Packet activity. Blinks with network traffic.
Link speed	Top right Bi-colored: Amber/Green	Off – 10BASE-T link (if link up) (10 GigabitEthernet 10GBASE-T) Amber ON – 100BASE-T link (Fast Ethernet 100 BASE-TX) Green ON – 1000BASE-T link (GigabitEthernet 1000BASE-T)
