Zusammenfassung:Systems and methods for supporting a single logical IP subnet across multiple independent layer 2 subnets in a high performance computing environment. A method can provide, at a computer including one or more microprocessors, a logical device, the logical device being addressed by a layer 3 address, wherein the logical device comprises a plurality of network adapters, each of the network adapters comprising a physical port, and a plurality of switches. The method can arrange the plurality of switches into a plurality of discrete layer 2 subnets. The method can provide a mapping table at the logical device.
