From this point forward, you are in the operating system GUI.
9. Provide the Subnet Configuration information for the following sections and click Next:
a) Management IP:
IP address
Network
Subnet mask
Note: The Management IP is used for the GUI, CLI, and replication. It resides on the management subnet and
floats across all "Mgmt only" and "Mgmt + Data" interfaces on that subnet.
b) Subnet:
Subnet label
Network
Netmask
Traffic Type – Data only
Traffic Assignment (This field is hidden if you are running a Fibre Channel array)
Discovery IP (This field is hidden if you are running a Fibre Channel array)
IP Address Zone – Single, Bisect, or Even/Odd (This field is hidden if you are running a Fibre Channel array)
Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) – Standard, Jumbo, or Custom
Frame size in bytes – User specified value
Ensure that your network switches support the selected frame size.
Note: If Jumbo frames are selected, ensure that they are configured end to end. To confirm that Jumbo
frames are supported, perform an end-to-end ping with the jumbo frame size and without fragmentation;
for example: ping <hostname> -f -l 8972
The data port IP addresses are assigned to interface pairs, such as eth5 on controller A and eth5 on controller B.
If one controller fails, the corresponding port on the remaining controller still has data access. At least one interface
pair must be configured. However, a minimum of two is recommended.
Note: To add a data subnet, click Add Data Subnet, provide the required information.
10. Provide Interface Assignment information for the following sections and click Next:
a) Interface Assignment:
For each IP interface, assign a subnet and a Data IP address within the specified network. For inactive interfaces, assign
the "None" subnet.
b) FC Interface (Fibre Channel arrays only):
This section displays the link status for all Fibre Channel ports. No configuration is required.
c) Diagnostic IP:
Controller A diagnostic IP address within the specified network
Controller B diagnostic IP address within the specified network
