Hi team , The cluster kit - UDOOX86 X4 - Work everyone in standalone or not? Additional the NIC Gigaethernet supports 802.1q? Regards, Marco
Hi Marco, it is possible to use them alone or all 4 together as a cluster. For the cluster mode, is possible to use OmpSs programming model: https://pm.bsc.es/ompss or if you want, you can use also: OpenMPI, MPI ecc ecc. For the support of 802.1q (VLAN) It should be supported. I would not say stupid things, but it's a software feature. I use this feature with Linux on all my laptop and computer without any problem.
I'm considering the cluster kit.. but how do they connect, any cables between 'em or just the rj45? And how does it work, tut?
I wait that the cluster connect by cables because with rj45 we lost conector´s for network operations. Addiotanlly some know if this cluster works in active/active mode summarizing the hardware, or every one is backup and only one works at time?
I have understood that 802.1q is a feature of hardware because the NIC can read the tags in one ethernet frame, this feature can give the posiblitity of connect more that one network to this board
I have used many time this feature with all my computer and notebook, just need this simple steps: For example on ubuntu: Code: # apt-get install vlan # modprobe 8021q # vconfig add eth0 5 # ifconfig eth0.5 192.168.1.10 # ifconfig eth0.5 up In this way I have added an interface where is possible to manage packets "tagged" with vlanid 5
If using the network option you can use a managed switch with passive vlans instead. Is the NIC intel?
