For using the HCP System Management Console, you need a client computer with connectivity to the default back-end subnet to which the HCP nodes belong. Following is a workflow for connecting a client computer to this subset:
- Ensure that the client computer has a physical connection to one of the back-end switches used by the HCP system.
- If the client computer is not in the HCP default back-end subnet:
- Make a note of the current IP address and subnet mask for the client computer so you can reset them after you change the network settings for the HCP system.
- On the client computer, set the IP address for the local area network to 10.1.1.100.
- On the client computer, set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
