Network configuration for RAC Cross Cable for interconnect

misterimranSep 29 2011 — edited Sep 29 2011
Hello,

I am in process of setting up network for my 2 node RAC installation.

I have *2* network adapters in each node.

I am using eth0 for public network setting on both nodes like this:

node 1:
IP : 192.168.20.31
Subnet : 255.255.255.0

node 2:
IP : 192.168.20.33
Subnet : 255.255.255.0

And I am using eth1 for private interconnect, both nodes are connected using crossover cable

node 1:
IP : 10.0.0.1
Subnet : 255.255.255.0

node 2:
IP : 10.0.0.3
Subnet : 255.255.255.0

I have read in couple of RAC installation guide that oracle does not support crossover cables for private interconnect. So in my case, I will be unable to configure network requirements for RAC? Or is there a way out? Or i have to use a switch instead of cross cable and then reconfigure the IPs.

Thanks, Imran
