10.9 System
Configuring the Network
Using the Network page, each physical Ethernet port in the ETERNUS CS800 can be
configured as a separate device. In addition, you can create bonded devices (logical ports)
consisting of two or more physical ports of the same link speed (1GbE or 10GbE). For each
port or device, you can specify the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) frame size.
After you define devices (single port or bonded), you can create up to ten network interfaces
for each device. Each interface has its own IP address information. In addition, you can
configure the following options for each interface:
Assign the interface to a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network).
l
Indicate whether the interface IP address will be used to externally identify the system
l
(external host IP address).
Specify the types of traffic allowed on the interface (management, replication, or data).
l
Specify the NAT address that the interface is mapped to if it is used for replication
l
through a NAT firewall.
Add routing information for an interface to enable connectivity with devices on different
l
subnets.
You can choose to allow any traffic type (management, replication, or data) on an
interface. In this case, the routing of different traffic types, as well as firewall
capability, must be controlled using the network infrastructure (routers and
switches) that the ETERNUS CS800 is connected to.
Configuring the network includes the following major steps:
Before configuring the network, work with your network administrator to determine
the network settings that will be required to properly integrate the ETERNUS
CS800 with your company's network.
