5. Connection Configuration

LAN Connection

LAN Connection
The ETERNUS DX requires a LAN connection for operation management.
In addition, information such as ETERNUS DX failures is notified to the remote support center.
Note
Make sure to connect each controller to the LAN for operation management.
Specifications for the LAN ports of the ETERNUS DX are shown below.
• Operation Mode
Ethernet (1000BASE-T/100BASE-TX/10BASE-T)
Internet Protocol
•
IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
■
IP Addresses for the ETERNUS DX
In order to connect to the LAN for operation management, an IP address for ETERNUS DX must be prepared in
advance.

LAN for Operation Management

In an ETERNUS DX, the system administrator logs on to the ETERNUS DX via a LAN to set the RAID configuration,
manage operations, and perform maintenance. MNT ports are used in LANs for operation management.
In addition, the failures that occur in the ETERNUS DX are notified to the remote support center. The remote
support uses MNT ports for a network connection by default. In this situation, the network connection for the
remote support is transferred via the LAN for operation management. When the network connection for the
remote support needs to be separated from the LAN for operation management, refer to
Support" (page 204)
