Abstract
Disclosed herein are a method for automatically allocating IP addresses for a distributed storage system in a large-scale torus network and an apparatus for the method. The method for automatically allocating IP addresses includes acquiring neighboring-node information from multiple storage nodes that constitute the system; generating torus network topology for the multiple storage nodes by combining the neighboring-node information; generating IP address information through which a position of each of the multiple storage nodes in a structure corresponding to the torus network topology can be identified; and allocating IP addresses to the multiple storage nodes by delivering the IP address information to the multiple storage nodes.
