Installation
DXi6500, Model 6550 (2 x 1 GbE Ports and 2 x 10 GbE Ports) - 10 GbE Connectivity
Is Available
For simplicity, use of both 10 GbE ports simultaneously is discouraged. Configuration
recommendations for the use of bonded 10 GbE ports are unique to the type of 10 Gb
switch used. Contact Quantum Customer Support for specific guidance if you require
dual-10 GbE connectivity.
Advanced Network Recommendations
Advanced configurations include segmentation for separation of data, management,
and replication traffic, but otherwise conform to the
page 4. Switch configuration changes may be required. Note that segmentation is
discrete. For example, if an option indicates ETH0 (Replication) BOND ALL-1
(Management/Data), replication traffic will exclusively traverse port ETH0, and
Management and Data traffic will exclusively traverse ETH1.
DXi6500, Model 6510 (2 x 1 GbE Ports) and DXi6500, Models 6520, 6530, and 6540
(6 x 1 GbE Ports)
For advanced network configuration, follow these steps:
1 For Segmentation, select the appropriate configuration option to isolate traffic as
necessary.
1 For Bonding, select Round Robin (Mode 0).
2 Connect the required Ethernet ports (ETH0–ETH1 for DXi6500 Model 6510, or
ETH0–ETH5 for DXi6500 Models 6520, 6530, and 6540) to your switch. Configure IP
information appropriately on the IP page.
3 If a Bonded configuration was selected under Segmentation, contact your network
administrator to create a Round Robin compatible Link Aggregation Group on the
switch encompassing the bonded ports.
