| [Sun Cluster 3.1 Command Line Cheat Sheet|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunCluster/Sun+Cluster+3.1+Command+Line+Cheat+Sheet] | Richard provides some handy shorthand notes for all you people who are still using Sun Cluster 3.1. | Richard Ostberg |
| Creating VLANs and the private interconnect | Always create a separate VLAN for each cluster, even if clusters share the same switch. \\
\\
By default, Sun Cluster uses the same set of IP addresses on the private interconnect. Creating a separate VLAN for each cluster ensures that IP traffic from one cluster does not interfere with IP traffic from another cluster. Unless you have customized the default IP address for the private interconnect (available in Sun Cluster 3.2 only), as described in [How to Change the Private Network Address or Address Range of an Existing Cluster|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2971/gdrna?a=view], always create a separate VLAN for each cluster. | Brian C.
