cluster's configuration page.

Network requirements

--------------------

The cluster controller manages a network of nodes through one of its interfaces

as defined in MAAS. Cluster interfaces are discovered automatically, though

this may not happen e.g. if the network interface was down when MAAS was

installed.

When a cluster controller manages nodes on a network through one of its

interfaces, the nodes must be on the same subnet as the cluster interface.

This is for two reasons:

1. If the cluster controller is configured to manage DHCP, the nodes must be

able to configure their own network interfaces using MAAS's DHCP server.

This means that either they must be on the same subnet, or that DHCP packets

are being specially routed between the nodes' subnet and MAAS's DHCP server.

2. The cluster controller must be able to find nodes' IP addresses based on

their MAC addresses, by inspecting its ARP cache. This implies that the

nodes and the clsuter controler must on the same physical subnet.
