New Installation R12.1 cannot access server on port 7070 or 7071 (resolved)

[IPOTS]

I am running into an issue with R12.1
I have installed a new server using a USB created with Rufus.

The Primary installed ok. I was able to set the IP address/Gateway etc.,, with the initial config set.
I was able to get in 7070 and 7071.

Repeated on the secondary server. After the install was complete, I could not access the 7070 to setup the server.
Doesn't ping, no access on either port 7070 or 7071.
I tried installing it 3 times. Same issue.

Resolution: Hooked up monitor and keyboard. Logged in as root. ifconfig shows network adaptors in loopback. 127.0.0.1
used #sudo ifconfig eth0 255.255.255.0 192.168.42.1 up
#reboot
IP address was set to default,, I was able to get into the 7070 port and run the initial config.

Not sure why this adaptor went into a loopback mode after installation. All good now

Repeated IP Address, you let the default IP address on LAN 2 for both Server

I set the primary to 10.2.200.10 first before staging the secondary. The Secondary shouldn't have been affected with the default 192.168.42.1
