Configuring MergePoint SP5x24/SP5x40 manager network settings

When configuring Ethernet ports, be aware of the following conditions:
• In Normal mode, eth0 and eth1 are separate network interface cards and all standard
networking rules apply. When each Ethernet port is active and assigned a different IP
address, both ports are reachable through either IP address even if the cable is disconnected
from one of the interfaces.
• In Failover mode, the secondary Ethernet interface becomes bonded to the primary Ethernet
interface and both are referred to as a single bond0 interface. The bond0 IP address is used
for both eth0 and eth1 physical network interface cards. As a result, the same set of values
applies to the single bond0 interface.
• In Bridge mode, both the primary and secondary Ethernet interface become disabled. The
Br0 IP address is used as the host address for the MergePoint SP manager and is accessible
from any of the physical ports, including the private ports. In addition, security settings are
no longer managed by the MergePoint SP manager. Instead, the user must configure any
required security settings from the service processor attached to the MergePoint SP
manager.
To configure network settings for the MergePoint SP5x24/SP5x40 manager (Admin

2. In the top navigation bar, click Network. The Appliance Network Setting window appears.
3. In the mode drop-down menu, select the mode and click Apply.
