To set up a private LAN connection:
1. Connect two machines that contain the KCU105 board and connect the fiber optic cable
between the SFP+ cages on the board.
Connect the fiber cable in a 1:1 manner, that is, connect SFP0 of one board to SFP0 of the
other board, and connect SFP1 of one board to SFP1 of the other board.
For this procedure, these machines are called A and B.
2. Run the quickstart.sh script provided in the package. Select the Application mode
with Peer to Peer option. Click Install. This installs the application mode drivers.
3. After installing the Application mode driver with the Peer to Peer option enabled at
both ends, change the IP address of the MAC as follows:
Here X represents the particular Ethernet interface number in the host machine, for

example, eth0.
a. On end A, change the MAC address using ifconfig:
$ ifconfig ethX down
$ ifconfig ethX hw ether 22:33:44:55:66:77 172.16.64.7 up
b. For the corresponding interface on end B, set the IP to be in the same subnet:
$ ifconfig ethX 172.16.64.6 up
c. Follow the same steps for the interface eth(X+1). Change the MAC address at one
end and assign the IP address to be in a different subnet as the subnet assigned for
ethX.
