The MAC address is used to relate the FPC to a FPC node using the switch information for this MAC. Once the relationship is discovered the FPC is configured with the FPC node IP settings. + +This process is repeated until no more FPCs are discovered. + +For more information on xCAT support of NeXtScale and configfpc see: +https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=XCAT_NeXtScale_Clusters + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over 6 + +=item B<-i> I + +Use this flag to specify which xCAT MN interface (example: eth4) that is connected to the NeXtScale FPCs.
