6. Cable the array for your desired network topology.
a) Connect ports for management (commonly the onboard eth0 ports).
b) Connect ports for data according to your network topology and protocol (eth or fc).
For Ethernet, cable the same port on each controller to the same network switch and subnet. The two ports form
an interface pair, and iSCSI initiators have a network path to both controllers. If your switches have multiple VLANs
configured, make sure that each interface pair is connected to switch ports on the same VLAN.
For Fibre Channel, cable the same port on each controller to the same FC switch.
See the Hardware Guide on HPE InfoSight for detailed network configuration examples.
In this example, quad fc ports are installed in Slot 1 and quad eth ports are installed in Slot 2 and Slot 3.
